Twin Cities weekend: Vintage markets, Yacht Club Festival, Minnehaha Falls Art Fair
👕 Twin Cities Vintage Flea: This pop-up flea market in North Loop from the group behind the popular Totally Rad Vintage Fest features clothing, collectibles and memorabilia that must all be at least 20 years old. Saturday, 10am-3pm
🛹 Summer Market at Forgotten Star Brewing: The Fridley brewery hosts 30+ vintage vendors alongside a pop-up skate park and live music, which includes a band covering Tony Hawk Pro Skater video game soundtracks. Saturday, 12-8pm
🌸 Markets on Main: This new outdoor market on the riverfront in the St. Anthony Main neighborhood features local farmers, florists, handmade goods, art, vintage sellers and more. Sunday, 10am-2pm
🥰 Audrey's thought bubble: As someone who spends a solid percentage of her summer paychecks at vintage events, I can't recommend coffee/record shop Disco Death's monthly markets enough.
In my experience, it's always a wide variety of vendors, styles and eras, and almost all shops have racks or dig piles with items under $10. Plus, great coffee! Sunday, 11am-5pm
More things to do ...
🎸 The Minnesota Yacht Club Festival returns Friday for three days of live music on Raspberry Island in St. Paul, with headliners that include Hozier, Alabama Shakes, Fall Out Boy, Weezer, Green Day and Sublime.

🍔 Eat burgers for a good cause at Modist Brewing Company's Burgertopia, an all-you-can-eat event this Sunday that benefits Help the House Foundation, a group that supports hospitality industry workers.

TikTok users rediscovering Twin Cities HGTV show "Decorating Cents" decades later
If you've been scrolling TikTok lately, you've probably seen the internet's newest obsession: a show called "Decorating Cents." Most of the longtime HGTV makeover series was shot in the Twin Cities, and is now going viral decades later. The show was hosted by Joan Steffend and ran on HGTV from 1997 to 2008, with the former channel 11 anchor and reporter narrating and assisting designers, who were given a $500 budget and a few hours to transform rooms. The first five seasons of "Decorating Cents" are now streaming. They've caught the attention of TikTok users, including comedian Rob Anderson. The two have connected and he's shared with her that many of the designs were great. In his TikTok videos, Anderson says he's picking on the show's most outrageous transformations. "I understand some of the stuff is crazy looking right now . . . but that was also their job to do wild decorating," said Steffend. Now a 70-year-old grandmother of four, Steffend is using the show's newfound fame for good. She's selling shirts, mugs, and other items to mark the occassion with a portion of the proceeds going to World Central Kitchen. Since "Decorating Cents," Steffend has focused on projects that spread kindness. She's written two books and is working on a documentary with her husband about former Minnesota Twins legend Joe Mauer.
