Stillwater’s Main Street, closed until September, became a dance floor on Saturday

With Highway 95 in Stillwater closed until late September, the artery — also known as Main Street — became a dance floor on Saturday.

It was the site of a much-anticipated street dance similar to one that happened 122 years ago.

People were encouraged to dress up and cut a rug.

Our John Autey got photos of the dance action.

Main Street is closed between Myrtle Street and Olive Street, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Traffic will detour to Highway 36, Manning Avenue, and Highway 96.

Businesses and local access will continue throughout the duration of the project, and the Stillwater Lift Bridge will remain open.

The closures are part of a project to build a pedestrian/bicycle plaza.
