FRIDAY

Bike-In Movie: Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure

Have you biked to a movie in the park this season? OK. Well, have you biked to a movie screening featuring a movie about a bike that you’ll watch from the back of a bike? This Friday, you can have the most meta night of the season. When the weather’s warm, 612bike hosts humble movie screenings off the back of their red cargo bike. Recent events have included My Neighbor Totoro and Napoleon Dynamite. This Friday’s show will celebrate the 40th anniversary of Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, where Pee-Wee (RIP) goes on an epic hitchhike across the country in search of his stolen souped-up ‘50s Schwinn DX. Expect bouts of amnesia, biker gangs, Godzilla, and, of course, a trip to the Alamo. Free. 8:45 p.m. Loring Park, 1382 Willow St. S., Minneapolis; find more info here.—Jessica Armbruster

"Alebrijes"

“ALEBRIJES: Keepers of the Island” 

Alebrijes are a Mexico City folk-art tradition born out of a fever dream—literally. In 1936, artist Pedro Linares fell ill and found himself hallucinating a forest filled with magical creatures that were shouting “alebrijes!” at him. Once better, he knew that he had to recreate what he had experienced. Nearly 90 years later, Mexican artists continue this tradition, using papier-mâché to create beautifully surreal neon beasts—think chicken-fish-unicorns and butterfly-dog-frogs—ranging from four to 15 feet tall. This summer and fall, alebrijes will be at Raspberry Island thanks to four Mexico City-based artists who have created 16 large-scale papier-mâché sculptures for an installation organized by the Minnesota Latino Museum. You can venture through this colorful wonderland during the park’s regular hours (dawn to 11 p.m. daily). For more info, visit mnlatinomuseum.org/alebrijes. Raspberry Island, 2 Wabasha St. S., St. Paul. Through October 26—Jessica Armbruster

St. Anthony Village Fest

Neighborhood festivals? We got ‘em every weekend. But this party in St. Anthony Village is a little odd, and that makes it easy to appreciate. Sure, you’ve got your typical fun, including Friday’s big parade and Saturday’s carnival games, food trucks, and big ol’ beer garden (featuring Pryes!). But the folks organizing this thing aren’t afraid to weird things up, with a dead mobile-phone throw featuring heats for kids, teens, and adults (don’t worry, they will supply the phones). Or enter to win the partner-carrying contest, which is an 18+ race open teams of any gender (and any marital status). If that’s too strange for you, consider entering the normal-seeming bean bag or wiffleball tourneys. Free. 7-10 p.m. Fri.; 11 a.m. to dusk Sat. Centric Park, 3503 Silver Lake Rd. NE, Minneapolis; find more info here. Through Saturday—Jessica Armbruster

Nershfest 2021Provided

SATURDAY

Nershfest

What is a Nersh and why are we festing it? Well, sounds like somebody (me) doesn’t know as much as they should about the String Cheese Incident. Bill Nershi plays guitar for the Incident, and 13 years ago some Minneapolis pals threw a backyard party that they named for him as a goof. As Nershfest grew, it expanded from backyards and expanded to breweries, and this is its first year at 56 Brewing. There will be bands: China Rider, the Orange Goodness, Saltydog, Heatbox & the Power Ups, and headliners Gully Boys, who just announced their new self-titled album is out this October. Kham Fu Dee, Brick Oven Bus, and Purple People Feeder are the food trucks on site this year, and there will also be Nersh merch (mersh?). Finally, this year’s new brew is “Nersheast Nectar” an Italian pilsner (hey, I just learned about those) that pours “at a certified ‘crushable’ status of 5% ABV.” Crush away, I guess! Free from noon to 4 p.m.; $10 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. 56 Brewing, 3055 Columbia Ave. NE, Minneapolis; find more info here.—Keith Harris

Legalized It

Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis.

Lager Fest: Part 2

Featuring a shitton of lagers, plus tunes from The Pirate & Tipsy Mermaid. 6 p.m. Heavy Rotation Brewing Co., 9801 Xenia Ave. N., Minneapolis.

Rondo Block Party Promo

Rondo Block Party

If Uptown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul can’t make it, who can? Rondo can. In the late 1950s, various government entities built a freaking freeway through the neighborhood, devastating the bisected area for decades. Yet Rondo has persisted, and longtime residents, businesses, and new neighbors have come together to make sure it survives, and, more recently, thrived. They’ll be celebrating Rondo’s history and future this weekend with a day of community building and fun, including a food court, local market, and live music. Find more info at rondoblockparty.com. Free. 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Rondo Commemorative Plaza, 820 Rondo Ave., St. Paul.—Jessica Armbruster

Open Streets NE

Last year marked Open Streets Minneapolis’s first run without its original organizers, Our Streets Minneapolis (now known as Our Streets MN). The results? Pretty mixed! While Lyndale Avenue’s event featured more cars than people, the Nicollet one a few blocks away was really lively. That said, 2025’s kickoff Open Streets in northeast Minneapolis looks like it will offer the kind of wander-around-until-something-grabs-ya vibes that make these things great. Things that might grab ya include lucha libre wrestlers, skateboarding demos, interactive art installations, and a resource market. Or find a spot to plant; there’ll be a beer garden, tons of food patios and trucks, and multiple music stages with sets from Obi Original and the Black Atlantics, Toussaint Morrison, the Bullfrogs, and others. Free. 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Avenue NE, from 14th Street to Lowry Avenue, Minneapolis; find more info here.—Jessica Armbruster 

4th Annual Slavic Experience

Featuring food, music, fashion, art demonstrations, and more. Noon to 10 p.m. Sat.; noon to 8 p.m. Sun. The ROC, 3700 Monterey Dr., St. Louis Park.  

Powderhorn Art

Powderhorn Art Fair

Well, it looks like the gang is really breaking up. For years the Loring Park, Powderhorn Park, and Uptown art festivals were scheduled on the same weekend and shared crowds. These days, Loring Park has opted to set up shop a week earlier while Uptown has rebranded as SoMi (South Minneapolis) Art Fair way over in Windom. This weekend, Powderhorn definitely has the edge over SoMi, with pretty paths to walk, lake views to enjoy while shopping, plenty of food trucks, and shady trees. Meanwhile SoMi, which takes place in a scorching parking lot, still has some stuff to figure out; last year’s event was drastically smaller than when it was in Uptown, with more people shopping for plants inside Bachman’s than wandering the lot. Let’s hope they invested in more shade this year. Free. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sat.-Sun. Powderhorn Park, 3400 15th Ave. S., Minneapolis; find more info here. Through Sunday—Jessica Armbruster

Broken Clock's Member Appreciation Weekend

St. Paul Food Truck FestUnion Depot

Shakespeare at the Pub: Much Ado About Nothing

Since 2022, the Gray Mallard Theater Company has staged a summer Shakespeare production in the parking lot at Sociable Cider Werks. Previous “Shakespeare at the Pub” showings have included Richard III, Twelfth Night, and, in 2024, Romeo and Juliet, which one local publication praised for its fun, easygoing tone—nothin’ like wearing flip flops and eating a burger while you watch a play. This year, Gray Mallard is staging Much Ado About Nothing, which should be a perfect fit for Sociable; the zany rom-com is full of lies, lust, missed connections, and second chances. Love Island who? Free, but donations are welcome. 7 p.m. Thu., Sat., and Sun. Sociable Cider Werks, 1500 NE Fillmore St., Minneapolis; more info here. Through August 3—Em Cassel
