The Minnesota Yacht Club Festival, a new festival announced by C3, will take place at Harriet Island Park in St. Paul next summer. The festival will take place on July 19 and 20, 2024, but further information, including an artist lineup or ticket prices, has yet to be announced.
The two-day festival will fill a gap left by local festivals such as the Basilica Block Party, canceled two years in a row, or Rock the Garden, permanently shuttered by its hosts.
While the artist lineup is still unknown, C3 states on the festival’s website that concertgoers won’t be forced to move from stage to stage mid-set to catch all their favorites, promising “no schedule conflicts” across the 20 slated artists.
The concert will take place outdoors at Harriet Island Park across the two days, and will include local food vendors, historic riverboat rides, and more, per a news release from the city of St. Paul. “With the breathtaking Mississippi River as its backdrop, this two-day event promises stellar performances, delicious local cuisine, and an opportunity for both residents and visitors to relish our nationally-acclaimed park facilities,” St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter said in the statement.
The festival has a text alert service set up on its website for people interested in concert updates,
