Another great amenity of that New Brighton offers is the Brightwood Golf Course. The 30 par, 1500+ yard course has a little bit for everyone. Brightwood even features a driving range.

Shops, dining and events
One of the main event held throughout the year is Stockyard Days. Stockyard days is a week long festival celebrating and remembering New Brighton’s rich cattle industry roots. The festivities include a golf tournament, car shows, karaoke contests, a movie night, fireworks, and much more. Another unique event that New Brighton residents look forward to each year is the New London to New Brighton Antique Car Run. As its name suggests, this event begins in New London and ends in New Brighton. It features a vast array of antique cars. This years newest car was built in 1912!
One of the great organizations in New Brighton is the New Brighton Area Historical Society. Founded in 1980, the historical society has since built a History Center and is home to the Great Northern Caboose. This antique caboose has been repainted by the historical society and the interior is currently being refurbished. New Brighton is also home to a VFW, a chapter of a League of Women Voters, a co-op Rotary Club with Mounds View, and much more. It is worth noting that there are organizations dedicated to organizing and running Stockyard Days and New London to New Brighton Antique Car Run. This allows residents to have a great say in the fan-favorite events throughout the year.
New Brighton’s premier location and its smaller suburban population make it ideal for anyone looking for a city that provides a great environment for its residents.
