Edina events

Don’t have the time off for this year’s impromptu trip to the French Riviera? Fret not, for you can still enjoy “A Night in Monaco” at this month’s Emerald Gala. The glitzy event is an annual benefit for the Edina Chamber of Commerce.
   
“Last year’s event was a huge success,” says Chamber president Lori Syverson. “At the end of the night we had 100 guests who did not want the evening to end. This year we added Las Vegas-style gaming, a photo booth and auction bidding via your mobile phone.”

The world of film comes to Edina on November 7–9 for our town’s third annual film festival at the Edina Landmark Theater. This year’s ode to cinema highlights movies made in Minnesota or by natives of the Land of Lakes, and also puts local restaurants and venues in the spotlight. Events and after-parties in Edina restaurants will take place between films and after the curtain drops each night. Festivalgoers will have the opportunity to meet filmmakers at these events.
