The event plans to go on for a tremendous 12 hours, from noon to midnight, leaving plenty of time for attendees to sing or swing with whatever music they fancy.
Finishing out the festival on the evening is a free one-hour concert by the Minnesota Orchestra, featuring many classical favorites, film music, and patriotic tunes, from the theme of Jurassic Park to William Grant Still’s Festive Overture.
