6 Cool Minnesota Outdoor Summer Concerts & Festivals

Posted on June 6, 2018Rick Welter

Summer is here again! Hopefully, your A/C unit is hard at work keeping your home cool and comfortable (If not, call us for air conditioning repair). 

But as nice as that cool air can be, summer’s all about getting outdoors and enjoying the season to its fullest. And there’s no better place to do that than at outdoor music festivals. 

From cities that hold weekly summer concerts at local parks to huge music festivals that draw thousands, each summer promises a fantastic lineup of awesome musical acts in the Twin Cities and beyond. Below, you’ll find details for some of the COOLest Minnesota concerts coming to a park or outdoor venue near you this summer.

Minnesota Yacht Club

July 19-20

The brand-new Minnesota Yacht Club festival features two days of music on Harriet Island. The lineup is a dream for Millennials and Gen Xers, featuring Gwen Stefani, Alanis Morissette, The Black Crowes, The Offspring, and Joan Jett, among others.

Wild Nights at the Minnesota Zoo

Fridays June 14-August 9

This concert series highlights local acts and tribute bands, aiming for a rocking good time in a gorgeous outdoor setting. Come for the music, stay for an after-hours peek at the nocturnal animals.

The Basilica Block Party

Summer Concerts at The Ledge Amphitheater

Jun 28-August 10

The Ledge Amphitheater is an hour or so north of the Twin Cities, but these stand-alone shows are worth the commute. Catch acts like the Stray Cats, Dwight Yoakam, Jewel & Melissa Etheridge, Three Dog Night, and The Beach Boys.
