Agate Days Celebration

Agate Days in Moose Lake, Minnesota is quite a unique event in this quiet small community.

A Free Gem show is hosted at the local school with many Gem vendors from numerous States showing off their pride gems which feature Lake Superior Agates. In the afternoon the Moose Lake Chamber of commerce hosts the annual Agate Days Stampede! "Now this you have to see!" A Dump Truck drops a load of rocks right down the Main street in downtown Moose Lake, mixed within these rocks there are Agates and quarters for people to hunt for (truly fun treasure hunt). The shotgun start lets everyone know when the STAMPEDE begins.

Saturday July 18th and Sunday July 19th.
