Unplug Minnesota Day is on July 11, 2026. Click here for the unplug kit - which includes messaging, ideas, and promotional resources. Although it references the state of Illinois, this information can be adapted for other states. 

Started eight years ago by the state of Illinois. Unplug Day is a statewide effort that encourages people to step away from screens and reconnect with recreation, nature, friends, family, and in-person experiences.

Unplug Illinois Day - communities host activities that promote unplugged time, whether that’s enjoying parks and trails, participating in recreational programs, playing games, or spending quality time together without devices.  

Feel free to use anything from the Unplug Illinois kit to promote July 11 in your Minnesota community!
