New Minnesota Town Just Picked As the Winner For Hippies

Some people have this odd perception that Minnesotans are all hunkered down in igloos 365 days a year while saying "you betcha!". While Paul Bunyan and the Blue Ox appear in various locations throughout the Land of 10,000 Lakes, it sounds like a new town is also popping up as the popular spot for hippies.

New Minnesota Town Just Picked As the Winner For Hippies

The hippie movement was thriving back in the 1960s! While the "movement" may not be as obvious as it once was, it appears that every state in the U.S. has a town that hippies love the most.

A few years ago, Onlyinyourstate picked a small town with about 800 people in it as the most popular spot for hippies in Minnesota. If you missed that, Lanesboro was the big winner back in 2021...not because people were walking around with daisy necklaces or sporting bell-bottoms 100% of the time. Lanesboro was picked as the hippiest town in our state thanks to all of the fun waiting for people to enjoy.

Today, a new town is kicking Lanesboro off the winner platform and taking the lead as the top spot for hippies in Minnesota.

Duluth’s vibe is probably best represented by the bands that have come out of there, most notably the prolific jam band Trampled by Turtles and the more-rock-ish but still hippie Cloud Cult. - thrillist.com
