The Coon Rapids Snowflake Days is an annual event that first happened in 1964 as a way for the community to come together and celebrate. It was held in the winter because the cities surrounding Coon Rapids had their city celebrations in summer, and they wanted a way to stand out. The activities have changed over the years, and the latest include the Kids Ice Fishing Contest, Cookies & Canvas, and the Adult Medallion Hunt. It's a week of fun festivities for the whole family.
