Drive By Brats in Crosslake

Friday, May 8, 2026 (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) (CDT)

Description

Enjoy fresh grilled Brats and Hot Dogs at the annual May "Drive By Brat" Sale. The volunteers from Light Up the Dam will be grilling and serving right to your car. Take lunch to go, or enjoy lunch at the beautiful Crosslake Recreation Area overlooking the Pine River Dam on Cross Lake.

Treat you employees to lunch, or swing thru on your way to the fishing camp!  $6 for a Brat/Chips/Soda, and ala cart options. (hot dogs too)

Light Up the Dam is an all volunteer effort to add seasonal decor to the Pine River Dam at the US Army Corp of Engineers property. You'll see the American Flag during the summer months, Christmas displays and decorations during the holiday months, a big green Shamrock to compliment March's Best St. Patrick's Day Celebration in the state, and colored lights adorn the dam throughout the year.  

This year, 100% of the Brat Sales revenue help the Paul Bunyan Scenic Byway to beautify the Linda Ulland Memorial Gardens (getting a complete upgrade this summer). 

Sponsors include Reeds Market, Pan-O-Gold Buns and Pepsi.
