The area has multiple cultural events running though the year, including the Loring Park Artists' Festival  which provides a well-rounded sample of the local lifestyle.  Fitness enthusiasts can enjoy the park using the many cycling and running trails that criss-cross through it. The area has a variety of interesting attractions for the curious visitor including the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral, Walker Art Center and the Basilica of St. Mary. The neighborhood is famous for its quirky mix of quaint apartment buildings, many of which date back to the early 1900s and are historic brownstones, as well as the modern condominiums and town houses.
