HISTORIC ST. STEPHEN’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH
These events will take place in historic St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church. This beautiful building was built in 1937 when the new Country Club District was forming. As the first protestant church in Edina, St. Stephen’s was and remains a true community church nestled into the surrounding neighborhood on the banks of Minnehaha Creek.

There is a bus stop directly opposite the church entrance. Bike parking is also available onsite.
