Osseo has multiple social clubs and ongoing activities:

'''Osseo Orchard'''

In 2017, volunteers planted over 30 trees and fruiting shrubs at the Osseo Public Works site at the intersection of 2nd Street SE and 8th Ave SE. The orchard includes apples, pears, plums, and cherries. Berries include blueberries, currants, and [[Jostaberry|jostaberries]]. Residents are welcome to visit the orchard and take advantage of ripe produce.<ref>{{Cite web |date=1 May 2022 |title=Osseo Orchard |url=https://www.discoverosseo.com/departments/parks-and-recreation/parks-and-trails/osseo-orchard/ |website=discoverosseo.com}}</ref>

'''Concerts and Movies in the Park'''

An effort led by Osseo's citizens enabled the construction of a [[bandshell]] in the northeast corner of Boerboom Veterans Park downtown. The bandshell is a popular place in the summer when musicians perform on Tuesday evenings, followed at dusk by a movie. This activity is supported by local donations and almost all events are free to the public.<ref>{{Cite web |date=1 May 2022 |title=Band Shell |url=https://www.discoverosseo.com/departments/parks-and-recreation/band-shell/ |website=discoverosseo.com}}</ref>
