Ah, summer! Gotta love all the cool outdoor things to do! And when they’re free? Heck, that’s the icing on the cake, am I right?
Today, we’re here to talk about an event that goes literally every day all summer long and is free to attend. Minneapolis Music & Movies in The Park brings you their summer concert series, with live music concerts at Lake Harriet in the bandshell, Minnehaha Park, Bryant Square Park, Father Hennepin Bluffs Park, and Nicollet Island Park. Between all five locations, you can catch live music every single day between May 30th and September 5th. Lake Harriet has daily concerts, while Minnehaha Park has 13 or 14 live shows per month. Bryant Square and the others have less active schedules, but there is still an impressive array of genres, performances and local musicians represented.
Whether you’re into folk, Bossa Nova, acoustic singer/songwriter type stuff, Brazilian jazz, rock, pop, smooth jazz or concert style band, this series has the goods. And did we mention it’s free? And outdoors? And the beautiful park settings are a bonus.
Check the summer schedules for each individual location to see what’s playing, or just stop by if you’re out for a stroll some evening. All shows begin at 7:30pm unless otherwise noted on the schedule.
