FRIDAY
Longfellow Corn Roast
Could this be another psyop for Big Corn? I’m gonna tell you right now: I don’t care. There are few summer delights that rival an ear of freshly roasted corn on the cob, and eating one in a park while relaxing in a lawn chair? Is it Friday yet? Bring cash if you plan to partake of the roasted corn (it’s $2 per ear), and if you don’t fill up on cob-based delights you can grab a snack from local food trucks Nashville Coop, Parkway Pizza, and Habanero Tacos. Also in play: a “family-friendly” DJ (what, no Korn?), face painting, and large inflatables. Free. 6–8 p.m. Longfellow Park, 3435 36th Ave. S., Minneapolis; find more info here.—Em Cassel

SATURDAY
ArtCar + ArtBike Parade
Hooray for ArtCars and ArtBikes! In a sea of Honda Civics and Schwinns, these guys add a little bit of whimsy to the traffic jams of the season. This weekend, they’ll travel en masse for the gang’s annual parade, a casual drive around the lake and garden. Past rides have included vehicles covered in wine corks and crochet, cars topped with giant lipsticks and DJ rigs, and bikes adorned with butterflies and mosquitos (the papier-mâché kind). It’s cute, it’s free, and there’s nary a corporate sponsor (ad-free experiences are rare these days). Bring a blanket and some snacks, and head on over to the bandshell afterward for some free music from Minnesota Pops. Free. 4–6 p.m. Bde Uman/Lake Harriet at the Rose Gardens, 4124 Roseway Rd., Minneapolis; find more info here.—Jessica Armbruster
Black Business Week Street Mall
Stick it to Target and Amazon by spending your money in the North Side, where it does way more good. Privy to that are the organizers behind Black Business Week’s Street Mall, which’ll feature dozens of Black-owned vendors sprawled out along the Capri Theater’s plaza. There'll be an open mic contest for comics, musicians, and poets featuring cash prizes, as well as the promise of “mouthwatering food” and family-friendly activities. “You’re not just making a purchase—you’re investing in the future of our community,” organizers write. Hard to argue with that. Free. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Capri Plaza, 2027 W. Broadway, Minneapolis; find more info here.—Jay Boller
Mrs. Roper Romp
This bar crawl celebrates Mrs. Helen Roper, the landlady from Three’s Company, played by Audra Lindley. (Hint: Rock a kaftan, giant sunglasses, and an orange clown wig.)

Find the schedule here. 3 p.m. Grand 7 Saloon, 315 Seventh St .W., St. Paul.
Hamlet
We’ve heard of free Shakespeare in the park but what about free Shakespeare in the pub? Gray Mallard Theater Company has been bringing the bard’s work to the masses over the past five years, and this summer the troupe presents Hamlet, a tale of a prince who must avenge the death of his father after his uncle kills the king and claims the throne. (Why yes, this is also the plot of The Lion King.) “In a time when corruption goes unchecked, deception unchallenged, and people are grappling with when and how to take a stand, Hamlet feels remarkably relevant,” director Amanda Fuller says via release. “The play explores what happens when corruption infects not only a single family, but an entire state, and one young person is called upon to act.” Performances are free and take place outdoors in the cidery’s parking lot. Audiences are welcome to bring their own lawn chairs, though a limited number will also be provided. Free. 7 p.m. Wed.–Thu., Sat.; 6:30 p.m. Sun. Sociable Cider Werks, 1500 Fillmore St. NE, Minneapolis; find more info here. Through August 2—Jessica Armbruster

Lake Street Live
Lake Street is for lovers, as Lifter Puller once proclaimed, but between the unrest and Operation Metro Surge that Minneapolis thoroughfare hasn’t been feeling the love this decade. That changes tonight! Hosted by Arbeiter Brewing Co. and the Lake Street Council, Lake Street Live is a family-friendly fest. Like any self-respecting block party, that means a rippin’ roster of live music (American Cream Band, Brandyn Tulloch, Cowboy Thoughts, Los Malos Pasos, Oyster World, Butter Boys, Good Morning Midnight, Ciao Bello), food trucks (La Tortilla, Amazing Momo, Trio Plant-Based), and local vendors. “Come for the music. Stay for the community. Leave knowing you helped keep Lake Street thriving,” organizers write, noting that donations will benefit the Lake Street Council’s outreach efforts with immigrant-owned businesses. Free.

Float Fest
What’s that old quote from “The New Colossus”? “Bring me your kayaks, your canoes, your unused rafts yearning to sail free.” Something like that? At Float Fest, which returns this year after a 2025 pilot float, you can bring whatever kind of human-powered water vessel you’ve got—packraft, stand-up paddleboard—and float the Mississippi River, beginning at one of a few recommended destinations and ending at Graco Park. Don’t have a river-faring vessel of your own? There are a few locations where you can rent a kayak via Paddle Share, the river’s self-serve kayak-sharing system. Free. Start times and locations vary; the earliest recommended start is 9:30 a.m. from Mississippi Gateway Park. Find more info here.—Em Cassel
Loring Park Art Festival
For years, Loring Park, Uptown, and Powderhorn Art Fairs teamed up to turn Minneapolis into a massive juried art show for one weekend. This year, they’ve separated into their own events, which is probably for the best—these fests tend to attract 100,000 to 200,000 folks apiece. Loring Park is up first this summer, offering pretty paths with lake views to walk along, artists both local and national, plenty of food trucks, and shady trees. Entertainment stages will feature local musicians (Frankie Torres, Andra Suchy, Amanda Grace), while an artisan market will feature locally-made foodstuffs. But the big draw are the artists, and there will be hundreds of ‘em in the park this year. Free. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sat.; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sun.
