Minneapolis This Week (July 5, 2026)
Here is what is going on this week in Minneapolis/St Paul, ending on July 5, 2026: • Ken Pomeroy at 7th St Entry (Jul 2, 2026) • Taste of Minnesota, Minneapolis (July 3-4, 2026) • Fourth of July (July 4, 2026)
Ken Pomeroy at 7th St Entry (Jul 2, 2026)
Ken Pomeroy returns to Minnesota, headlining the 7th Street Entry, on July 2, 2026.
Ken Pomeroy
We just saw the singer in May 2026 and wrote, “Ken Pomeroy (full name McKenan Pomeroy) kicked the evening off right. The Cherokee native and Tulsa, Oklahoma based artist is a singer, songwriter and guitarist. She has a pair of albums including 2025’s Cruel Joke. Her sound is in the Americana red dirt sound (that was a new term to me, a sub-genre of country that is literally tied to the red soil of Oklahoma and associated most with Bob Childers). The trio (vocals/guitar, guitar, and banjo) was a reserved affair, as they were seated in a row.”

Taste of Minnesota, Minneapolis (July 3-4, 2026)
As you would expect from the name, this is really focused on the food, but there is good music as well (see our take on last year’s event). Taking place as usual around the 4th of July, this year’s schedule is Friday, July 3 from 4-10pm and Saturday, July 4 12-10pm. With Polica capping off Friday and Dessa, Brother Ali, and more on Saturday, it will certainly be a lot of fun.
