For the first time, a 'cannabis garden' will set up next to Grand Old Day
Grand Old Day is looking a little different in 2025. It's not back to bringing in splashy national acts to perform along the St. Paul corridor, but it has one of its best musical lineups in many years.
It'll also have a "cannabis garden" alongside its beer gardens for the first time in its more than 50-year history.
Most of its six stages will have beer gardens, but the Nothing But Canna stage will instead, appropriately, serve THC drinks.
The stage is sponsored by Nothing But Hemp, which will sell drinks from its patio next to the stage at Grotto Street and Grand.
Representatives for the festival tell Bring Me the News that there will not be any on-street sales for cannabis products, but existing Grand Avenue businesses can sell their existing, legal THC products in-store.
The Nothing But Canna stage will feature the International Reggae Allstars featuring Singing Tony throughout the day.
Grand Old Day takes place on Sunday, June 1, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. More details can be found at the Grand Avenue Business Association's website.

New Paynesville brewery opens its doors with a focus on community
New Paynesville brewery opens its doors with a focus on community originally appeared on Bring Me The News. It's not all closures in the world of Minnesota breweries. Koronis Brewing in Paynesville has just opened its doors and will celebrate its grand opening from June 6 to 8. "It was a couple years ago now when we had some community members dreaming about opening up a brewery in the area and creating a new community space," manager and brewer Laura Naujokas tells Bring Me the News. The ball, or keg, got rolling with Mary Peterson, a Paynesville native who now lives in Portland, Ore. She was keen on the idea of a brewery setting up shop in her hometown. She and a group of community members approached Laura and her husband Alex, who operate the Koronis Kafe houseboat that serves food and drink during the summer months. They accepted. Alex had a background in the service industry, but Laura did not. "I was a science teacher for almost 10 years," she says. "So, I ended up leaving that field to pursue learning brewing and everything else that comes with managing and running a restaurant." Construction began in September, and it officially opened on June 1. The brewpub will serve its own beers and seltzers along with drinks from other companies, including cider from Milk and Honey. But Laura says the project came from the community and is about the community. "Our first day was so packed," Laura says. "Everyone was so excited to come out and try it, and it was just a really good buzz, a good feeling of having somewhere to go that's new and just a little bit different." The food menu, which aims to source as much as possible from local businesses, offers street tacos and flatbreads, as well as some more unexpected dishes like the Bison Tater Tot Hotdish Commercial and House-Made Sausage Rolls. With that eye on community, it's also hosting free concerts in the summer and has an event space called The Boathouse, where it has already booked a reunion and a bridal shower. As a brewpub, Koronis Brewing's beers will only be available inside the brewery. Curious imbibers can get a taste of taps like Lake Time Light Lager and Crow River Cream Ale at the brewery this weekend during its grand opening events, which include live music and plenty of story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 5, 2025, where it first appeared.
