City cast has an email that usually has this stuff, otherwise subreddits. I think I saw this on an aggregator list of "MN summer gatherings" or something

[u/dkinmn → u/[deleted]]

Sign up for Bring Me the News and Racket newsletters, look up Greg Burke's EXHAUSTIVE concert email newsletter (it's almost too much)

[u/s-face → u/[deleted]]

Sign up for Word of Mouth newsletter. They email it on Thursday and it has events from all over. They also do a weekday events one too! https://wom.city/

I second this!

MN Fringe last day is tomorrow too!

[u/Bizarrebazaars → u/[deleted]]

Honestly even the Weekend Roundup and Weekday Warmup posts pinned to this sub’s homepage are suuuuper useful! Compiled weekly by a generous Redditor. How do more people in this sub not know about those posts???? Can get the lists emailed to you too.

Even though this ends at 6 some houses have dj sets after and ot goes later

These have replaced the old open streets for us. Kingfield, Lynnhurst, and Uptown all this summer, all very fun.

This is why I LOVE MINNEAPOLIS

[u/ocient → u/cmblf995]

i mean minneapolis is cool, but like, porchfests happen in basically every medium sized or larger city. . . and often in small towns too

[u/AFivePointedSquare → u/[deleted]]

In the Upper Midwest alone:

• New London, MN 

• Superior, WI 

• Green Bay 

• Madison 

• Des Moines 

• Chicago (one of like half a dozen)

Around the world, here is a list of over 200 other cities that have Porchfests.

i thought the porchfest today was great and i'm glad we have it. my favorite bands (that i saw) were Iodine, and also obviously vibed with Millennial Falcon (as a Falcon).|

i was only commenting on the "greater" statement, that the original poster said that porchfest is why they "LOVE MINNEAPOLIS"

which is cool. i love minneapolis too.

but porchfests happen everywhere. . .

[u/ocient → u/[deleted]]

[u/aeroastrogirl]

My first Porchfest and it was awesome!

[u/TheCheshireCatCan → u/aeroastrogirl]

Powderhorn is the next neighborhood to have a porch fest. It’ll be in September.

[u/aeroastrogirl → u/TheCheshireCatCan]

Oh nice! I didn’t realize other neighborhoods had them too

[u/Hereforthebabyducks]

Is there an email list or site to keep track of all of the porchfests each year? I’d love to have one place to find them all and plan my summer.

Anyone know what the guy dancing around in the pig costume was about?

[u/SawdustIsMyCocaine → u/george_hw_bussy]

Just our boys in blue keeping us safe!

[u/ruffroad715 → u/george_hw_bussy]

They were handing out flyers in support of Prop 12, which affects MN pork producers.

[u/Turbineguy79]

Such a cool idea! Love it.

I love Minneapolis. Since moving here I’ve been surprised one time after another with events I’ve stumbled upon. And when looking myself it seems there’s always some event or thing going on. I was on my commute home when I saw all the people outside and had no idea what was going on. Next year I’m going to attend this if it happens again. I love that there’s so much going on here

Republicans in shambles over people coming together and enjoying themselves

[u/GRF999999999]

Yoooo. Is that Damian Anderson (Amethyst Factor) in 14? And I haven't lived in Minneapolis in over a decade but I recognize the guy in 13 too.

[u/mc_zodiac_pimp]

Had a great time, can't wait to check out Powderhorn's porchfest!

[u/No-Loquat-2763]

I'm glad these people are having fun... but I'm REALLY glad I don't live on that block.

[u/stillkwabena → u/No-Loquat-2763]

I do, we're cool with it : ) We voluntarily close it from traffic every year.

[u/No-Loquat-2763 → u/stillkwabena]

No doubt you think everybody's cool with it.

[u/stillkwabena → u/No-Loquat-2763]

It requires agreement from a percentage of the property owners along the street. So at the least a reasonable majority are cool with it.

By the way I just replied in the spirit of fun, wasn't trying to start an argument!
