Giant Celebration is a three-day, annual, community celebration held in Le Sueur, MN (30 miles south of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area). This summer's celebration will mark the 22nd year that Giant Celebration has taken place on the first weekend of August. Following the tradition of Le Sueur's Corn on the Curb celebrations of the past, Giant Celebration prides itself on creating an event that the entire community looks forward to as an annual rite of summer.
All three days there are food and drink booths and events for people - Ages 2 to 92 - held outdoors in the center of town in American Legion Park.
