Design Your Own PeopleFest! Tour All Year Long
New in 2021, the PeopleFest! Committee developed a guide to assist residents in exploring the people of Eden Prairie's past and present through food and history. The guide was updated for the 2022 celebration (see below) and is in the process of being revised once more for PeopleFest! 2023. We hope it serves as a tool for ongoing exploration!
