A large crowd watches a live performer in downtown Minneapolis.

Dakota Block Party

Following a successful 2025 40th Anniversary Block party that attracted more than 10,000 attendees, Dakota is bringing its downtown Minneapolis block party back on Sat., Sept. 26, 2026 — and this year's event will be even larger!

The 2026 Dakota Block Party will feature a lineup of more than a dozen musical acts throughout the afternoon and evening, along with food and beverage offerings from Dakota and local partners. Plus, there will once again be a local Makers’ Market, and kids “Treble Makers” play area with family-friendly activities!
