Something for the Weekend: Palmfest 2025
Announced only a week ago, Palmfest 2025 is taking place this weekend. Just happenstance, I am temporarily in Minneapolis for the recent Minnesota Yacht Club Music Festival and this would be a good way to officially say goodbye to Palmers Bar. As you know with the recent news that the bar will permanently shut down in September 14, 2025.

Announced only a week ago, Palmfest 2025 is taking place this weekend. Just happenstance, I am temporarily in Minneapolis for the recent Minnesota Yacht Club Music Festival and this would be a good way to officially say goodbye to Palmers Bar. As you know with the recent news that the bar will permanently shut down in September 14, 2025.
This is an all-day music festival, taking place Friday (July 25) to Sunday (July 27) presented by Palmers and Fulton Brewery. Unlike the Yacht Club, this will be an affordable price of $10. Daytime (before 10pm) will be held outside in the patio, unless it rains.
Unfortunately, due to family commitments, I have to wrap things up in Minneapolis and leave before Palmfest. However, the two bands I’m most interested in checking out is Chicago’s Watermelon and Houston’s Daikaiju.
