Beyond the 300 lakes, numerous beaches, golf courses, and trails, Alexandria residents make the area uniquely their own with the places and events they create together, like being home to Minnesota’s best winery, as well as the Red Willow Arts Concerts, The Shoreline Artist Gallery, and a myriad of locally owned restaurants and shops.
