Prior Lake Days, the annual event celebrating summer in the city, is scheduled for Aug. 8-9.

Friday will feature a “Sip and Stroll” for adults, while Saturday will be focused on family friendly events and activities.

The event is put on by the Prior Lake Chamber of Commerce, with support from local sponsors and business members.

“Prior Lake Days is a weekend of fun with something for everyone,” Chamber President Rebecca Scholz said. “It’s affordable, inclusive fun that supports local businesses, and is the perfect way to celebrate summer.”

The contest is hosted by Speiker & Company.
