FRIDAY
Art N’ Pils
No way around it: Art and pills just go hand in hand. Oh, uh—excuse me, that’s art and pils. Sorry about that. The event formerly known as Artepils returns to Utepils this weekend with local artists, live music, and lots of beer. This year’s featured artist is St. Paul’s Michael Iver Jacobsen, and art vendors include Mystic Healing Stones, Wander Want, Two Birds Tie Dye, and Fi Diaz. On the music side? We’ve got Mr. Rogers and the Make Believe Friends headlining Friday night, the Orange Goodness and Shotgun Ragtime band on Saturday’s lineup, and She’s Green and Dumbstar among Sunday’s performers.

How to Support Trans Youth: Author Nico Lang and Chris Stedman in Conversation
These are tough times to be a trans teen in America—no one asks to be at the center of a culture war. Nico Lang’s American Teenager: How Trans Kids Are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era is the perfect book for this moment. In his 2025 Stonewall Honor Book, Lang spoke with eight trans and nonbinary youth, as well as their friends and family members, to learn how they’ve been affected by the anti-trans movement and what their lives are like. Lang is in conversation this evening with local author Chris Stedman, and the two will discuss how to support trans youth here in Minnesota and across the U.S. They’ll also be collecting stories of LGBTQIA+ mutual aid for Stedman’s We Help Us project, which you can read more about right here in Racket. Free. 6–7:30 p.m. Plymouth Congregational Church, 1900 Nicollet Ave., Minneapolis; find more info here.—Em Cassel
Cool Runnings
9 p.m. Bottineau Park, 2000 Second St. NE, Minneapolis.
The Tempest
Last year, Classical Actors Ensemble kept it light with the raunchy (for its time) comedy All’s Well That Ends Well. This year they’re going darker with The Tempest, one of Shakespeare’s final works. You might know it as the one that gave us the (unfortunately timely) banger, "Hell is empty, and all the devils are here.” It’s one of the Bard’s more bonkers works, featuring a shipwreck (Shakespeare loved a shipwreck), a vengeful magician, an angry spirit creature, and a drunk butler and jester who team up with an enslaved islander in hopes of murdering their way to freedom (I know who I’m rooting for). This summer you can see it in the parks of the Twin Cities and surrounding ‘burbs. This week's schedule: 7 p.m. Fri.—Sun. Fri.: Wolfe Park Amphitheater in St. Louis Park; Sat.: Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis; Sun.: MN Humanities Center, St. Paul. Find times and other locations here. Through July 12—Jessica Armbruster
