Interested in volunteering with the Fridley ’49er Days? Email the ’49er Days Committee.
Fridley ’49er Days is organized by a non-profit group of volunteers. It takes many helping hands to host a community festival. Fridley ’49er Days is made possible by the ’49er Days Committee volunteers, the Fridley Lions, Twin Cities Gateway and our sponsors.
If you are looking for more summer fun, dining options, planning an event or need lodging for out-of-town guests, Twin Cities Gateway can help!
