About Us

Bradford is an unincorporated community in Bradford Township in Isanti County, Minnesota. 

The community is located west of Cambridge and Isanti; and north of St. Francis on State Highway 47. 

The center of Bradford is generally considered at the junction of Highway 47 and Isanti County Road 40. 

Bradford Township was established in 1875. Before that time, it had been a part of Springvale. 

Bradford currently has a gas station, quite a few small industries and a restaurant/bar and grill. 

We had a dream of a fun kids’ day in Bradford. 

We got together in May of 2022 and decided to make our dream a reality. 

If we would’ve known the hoops we had to jump through, we may have second guessed the entire thing. 

In three short months, we created a non-profit organization, now known as Bradford Community Organization, BCO for short. 

BCO was established to inspire and strengthen our community. 

With this, we voted on a group of 7 local business members as our Board of Directors. A few short months later, we expanded to 9.

We placed a Rural tourism request with Isanti County for a one-day special event to be held annually in 

August for Bradford Day(s) celebration and parade. We succeeded and held our first event in August of 2022.

Our first annual Bradford Days was 100% FREE to all that attended. 

Each child received a FREE Backpack, T-Shirt, FREE Lunch and unlimited free games and prizes. 

This couldn’t have been possible without the help of our Sponsors. 

All funds we receive, we give back to the people in need in our community. 

Since our start in 2022, we have successfully held Bradford Day(s), a Silent Auction, Car Shows, Community-Wide Garage 

Sale & Pancake Breakfasts, Easter Bunny Days, Santa Days, a Dinner & Donor Seminar and a First Aid & CPR Training.  

It is our hope and dream to assist the citizens of the Bradford and the surrounding Communities 

and incorporate fun family events which have been diminishing in all communities.
