East Bethel Booster Day

East Bethel Booster Days is a long-standing tradition in northern Anoka County. We are a family-oriented event that celebrates the City of East Bethel and all of the people and businesses that make this their home.

The next Booster Day event will be Saturday, July 19, 2025.


Mark your calendars, and come on out to the festivities in Booster Park. Free admission for everyone - grab your lawn chairs and bring your friends!
