Adding to the growing list of country music festivals popping up across the country, Minnesota now has a brand-new lineup to get excited about.
For those local to St. Paul, the two-day event will take over Harriet Island Regional Park on July 10 and 11. The Minnesota Country Club Fest is kicking off its inaugural year in the best way possible, with two of the biggest bands in country music right now: Treaty Oak Revival and The Red Clay Strays.
Announced just this afternoon, the inaugural fest will also feature openers throughout Friday and Saturday, including Charley Crockett, Stephen Wilson Jr., Charles Wesley Godwin, Jessie Murph, and Trampled by Turtles. Although they’re not country, it’d also be hard not to mention special guest, The Beach Boys, on Friday’s lineup, bringing their infectious summer vibe to the stage. Those attending can also plan to see smaller standout artists like Buffalo Traffic Jam, Elizabeth Nichols, Richy Mitch and the Coal Miners, and more.
This festival comes from C3 Presents, the same people behind Lollapalooza and the Minnesota Yacht Club, a 3-day folk festival that takes place at the same grounds the following weekend, July 17-19. This location at Harriet Island is an unbeatable venue right along the Mississippi River. Surrounded by cottonwood trees, if you have been yearning for the perfect opportunity to picnic while enjoying some incredible acts, this is the spot.
There are also a number of ways to get the full country club experience by elevating the weekend with lounges, VIP stage viewing, and even a magical Padelford riverboat cruise (margarita happy hour included). The festival also promises that with a 15+ artist line-up and two stages, there are no overlapping sets, so you don’t have to worry about growing blisters in your boots while rushing back and forth.
While July may seem miles away, luckily, brighter days are closer in reach than you may think, which means now is the chance to snag tickets before they sell out. Tickets will go on sale starting this Friday, January 30, with presale happening at 10 AM CT.
