Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Josh McKnight and Katlyn Plecity
We're so excited to celebrate our special day with you in beautiful Alexandria, Minnesota! Whether you're here for a weekend or just a day, there’s so much to explore in this charming lakeside town. From relaxing on the water to discovering local shops and breweries/wineries, Alexandria offers something for everyone. Take a stroll through downtown, sip wine at local vineyards, explore scenic trails, or learn about the area's rich history at the Runestone Museum. Of course, no visit is complete without seeing Big Ole and some lake time—Alexandria is known for its beautiful chain of lakes perfect for boating, fishing, or just soaking in the views. Scroll down for some of our favorite spots to eat, drink, and unwind while you're here!
