Twin Cities weekend: Vintage markets, Yacht Club Festival, Minnehaha Falls Art Fair
On the hunt for some new-to-you goods? It's a prime weekend for vintage and thrift markets around the metro — here are three we're checking out. 👕 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. Most general admission tickets are sold out, but you can still grab a Saturday pass for $150+ — verified resale tickets for all three days start at $295. 🎨 The Minnehaha Falls Art Fair is also back Friday-Sunday with nearly 200 artists throughout the south Minneapolis park, plus a new " Vintage and Funky Fest" on the other side of the falls with more eclectic vendors. Bonus: Every booth will have items for under $30. 🪵Fans of annual community festivals have several options this weekend: Lumberjack Days in Stillwater, which runs Friday-Sunday, and Hopkins' Raspberry Festival now through Sunday. Both feature a parade, artist market, food vendors, live music, games and more, though Lumberjack Days will also have appearances by Paul Bunyan. Free 🍔 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.
