The Best Food and Drink Spots Around Rock The Garden

Make your way to Rock the Garden on June 16th, 2018! One day, two stages, eight bands. Overlooking the iconic Minneapolis Sculpture Garden and an unbelievable view of the city skyline. Presented by Walker Art Center and 89.3 The Current, the 2018 Rock the Garden will feature artists Father John Misty, Feist, Kamasi Washington, P.O.S., Nikki Lane, Chastity Brown, Low Cut Connie and U.S. Girls. 

Make sure to build and preserve your energy before the festival by starting your morning and afternoon off with some delicious food and drink options nearby! Or maybe you need a pick-me-up after the music ends? Plenty of spots are open late for you post-festival food and refreshment fix. 

To make the most out of your festival experience, don't worry about driving home. Make a weekend out of it! It's more fun when you sleep over (we promise). Be sure to check out the best hotel deals plus summer events and things to do during your weekend getaway.
