Julie Wearn, CEO at Visit Roseville, loves her job. Over the past 13 years, Wearn has marketed the city of Roseville, Minnesota, on a local, regional, national and sometimes international basis.
Roseville is “Perfectly Positioned.” Closeness to all major attractions in the Twin Cities, variety of hotels in all price ranges, free on-site bus parking and a low lodging tax are just a few of the ways Roseville stands out as a group tour destination. Wearn is especially excited about Roseville in Bloom, an upcoming event taking place June 1–September 30, 2020.
Q. What will groups experience when attending Roseville in Bloom?
A. Roseville in Bloom is a free, public art event and a great way for us to say, “Welcome to Roseville!” The event will feature 20 artist-designed, 7-foot-tall roses that will “bloom” all around our great city.
Q. What special events will Roseville in Bloom offer visitors?
