Minnesota Yacht Club festival expected to bring 35,000 attendees to St. Paul this weekend
A summer music festival that drew thousands to the riverfront last year is about to rock Minnesota's capital city again. The three-day Minnesota Yacht Club festival takes center stage in downtown St. Paul on Friday. This summer's headliners include Green Day and Hozier. "Last year they were like locusts... they came in and ate us and drank us out of everything," said Julia Flaherty, who co-owns Joseph's Grill, which is just walking distance from Harriet Island Regional Park. "We look forward to this all year long, we plan for it." Thirty-five thousand people are expected to descend upon St. Paul. "Last year, we saw people from out of town. California, Canada. The Canadians were really fun," said Flaherty. According to St. Paul police, around 400 officers will work the event over three days. Some are designated as traffic enforcement, while others will be assigned to the grounds, according to Senior Commander Jesse Mollner. Tickers are still available online and police say that if you plan on coming, just leave your valuables at home. They also recommend paying attention to the festival's bag policy. A combination of road closures and Green Line light rail maintenance is impacting transit to the festival. For information on how to get to the festival, click here.

A giant disco ball will take centre stage for the weekend-long celebration of music, movement and Italian joy from Thursday, June 5th, until Sunday, June 8th.

The installation heralds the arrival of Aperidisco at Charlotte Quay, just steps from the glittering dock. The programme is set to be packed with immersive and free evening sessions on Thursday and Friday, casual walk-in experiences on Saturday and Sunday, and exclusive limited-ticket events, all designed 'to celebrate the joy of shared moments over a perfectly poured Aperol Spritz.' The weekend sessions begin at 9.30am on Saturday and Sunday through AperiColazione with Yoga Beats, blending traditional yoga practices with a chilled music set from DJ Gill and Aperol Spritz overlooking the dock.

Saturday's experience will feature a disco-infused set from DJ Kelly-Anne Byrne, while Sunday will offer a live culinary masterclass from Charlotte Quay's Executive Chef, Daniel Hannigan. On Saturday afternoon, a Sculpted by Aimee Masterclass will take place with renowned makeup artist Aimee Connolly at 3pm. With a limited capacity of just 150 guests per night, Aperidisco starts at 7pm on both Saturday and Sunday, with light Italian bites, spritz masterclasses, and headline DJ sets from January Winters and Lance West. Advertisement Brian Robinson, UK partnership markets director at Campari Group, said that Aperol 'embodies the joy of shared moments together with friends, bringing its golden hour vibes to any moment. 'Aperidisco is our way of bringing people together to celebrate the Summer with top Irish DJs, an immersive Aperol experience and of course a refreshing Aperol Spritz,' he said.
