2022 Chroma Zone mural by Joy Spika on the west side of SpotWeld

FRIDAY

Chroma Zone Mural & Art Festival

Now in its fifth year, Chroma Zone aims to beautify the Creative Enterprise Zone, an ever-growing neighborhood on the western side of St. Paul, with art. We’re talking multi-story murals on the sides of apartment complexes, warehouses, and businesses. A few recent favs: Mr. Kiji’s bold geometric work, Cey Adams ‘70’s sunshine love explosion, and this gorgeous piece from Thomasina Top Bear celebrating Indigenous flora and Lakhota/Oceti Sakowin beadwork. According to a recent press release, by the end of the year Chroma Zone will have produced 63 murals by 66 artists, 84% of ‘em by local artists, 92% by BIPOC artists, and 59% by women and non-binary artists. Friday’s festivities include a walking tour of the murals, a community meal, live painting demos, and a pop-up shop showcasing Native artists. See the full schedule and download a map of locations here.—Jessica Armbruster

Parking lot parties don’t end in Minnesota when the weather gets cooler. Thanks to Oktoberfest season, we’re just getting started. This weekend, one of the biggest offerings will be at Pryes, as the North Side brewery is hosting a three-day party filled with tunes, beer, and food. The live music offerings are typically bountiful, with this year’s emphasis on traditional German beer-drinking songs; hopefully it won’t scare the goats in the petting zoo. On tap: a large variety of seasonal beers, and the food menu features German treats like soft pretzels and sausages, as well as pizzas. For $20 you can get a pour of Pragmatic Pilsner or PryesFest Märzen inside a PryesFest stein, which grants you access to $5 refills. Free. 11 a.m. to midnight Fri.-Sat.; 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sun.

Open Streets West Broadway

Open Streets West Broadway

When Our Streets, the group that puts on Open Streets events in Minneapolis, lost funding from the city this year, we kinda assumed the event wasn’t coming back anytime soon, as the whole situation was pretty messy. But this fall, a handful of Open Streets are scheduled, this time mostly planned by neighborhood businesses associations. The big Lyn-Lake event a few weeks ago was certainly diminished, so it will be interesting to see how this weekend’s happening, organized by West Broadway Business and Area Coalition, turns out. This Saturday, you’ll be able to enjoy 17 blocks of the street car-free, with stops along the way including live music, sidewalk shopping, food pop-ups, and info on community resources.
