About Alexandria, MN

The city is known as a hot spot for tourism, due to its many lakes and resorts. Tourism events include a Grape Stomp hosted by the Carlos Creek Winery every September, an Apple Fest in October, the Douglas County Fair every August, and Art in the Park every July. The city has a museum housing the controversial Kensington Runestone, which some believe indicates that Vikings visited the area in the 14th century. Outside the museum stands Big Ole, a 25-foot-tall statue of a Viking built for the 1964 World's Fair in New York City. Extensive repairs to Big Ole were completed in 2016.
