GnarBQ 2025

Thank you everyone who came out to our GnarBQ event on June 21, 2025 at the Brainerd City Hall! We all beat the heat while having a great time skating and hanging out! Coco Moon generously cooled guests down with their delicious Italian Sodas and Dunmire’s graciously fueled everyone with a brat meal. The Smokin’ Desk entertained us with a great show on the stage, thanks to them for providing the tunes. We are very humbled year over year how our community shows up with their unwavering support for the skatepark project. $791 was brought in for the skatepark fund, THANK YOU all who donated! Also, a shoutout to our AMAZING volunteers and Mid MN FCU for letting us use their lot for parking. This event was made possible by The City of Brainerd, our sponsors and the Community Empowerment Grant supplied by Brainerd Community Action. Looking forward to seeing you all next year!
