The location is perfect, while it can be hectic getting into downtown and parking, I would suggest going green and spend an all day visit. Taking the rail or bus either way you'll be greeted with GREAT music! They have several stages, played at different times in which you walk from one block to another should you feel the need to explore. Food is wonderful! Plenty of FOODTRUCKS and local eatery. BIGRIVER pizza near CHS and farmers market is AWESOME! Not to mention too, there will Art booths set up from local artist. Including myself :-)) Http://DeMeglioart.com I'll be there FRI-SAT It's a place to come and it's FREE, not the food of course!

    Love it! Well organized, Talented Musicians, Great Security, and just a fun Summer Festival!…read more I normally stay at the Mears Stage because I live right there but many other venues around like Black Dog, Amsterdam, and Union Depot Stage, have acts playing at the same time. I think the bigger name bands play at the Main Stages however. Thursday night is a perfect night, not too busy. Friday night is still great but Saturday does get really really crowded so get your spots saved early on that day. I must applaud the Security Team this year. Last year I had a few pesty drunks bugging me, since I am a magnet for that type but this year, while sitting with my friend Ron, a drunk started bothering him, and within a minute, Security was right on it! Bam! Get out of here! It really made me feel good that they were very visible this year!! Thank you to the organizers who arranged this fine security group!

    I want to support my neighborhood and last year was a five-star day, so that's why I went with four…read morestars rather than three. It has soooo much potential since it's not as enormous as the other summer block parties, but this year was more of a three-star experience. I hope they learn some things this year and really knock it out of the park next year. I don't clearly remember the first year of the Lyn Lake Fest, but last year, it was packed, it was easy-ish to get a beer, Har Mar Superstar killed it. This year (year three), it felt kind of empty and nothing grabbed my attention enough to stick around for very long. The beer "garden"/parking lot was full, but not the street, at least not when I was there around 4-5 p.m. Plenty of cute dogs though. The local lineup on the mainstage was awesome this year (Koo Koo Kangaroo, Black Blondie, Peter Wolf Crier, Haley Bonar, Heiruspecs headlining), but I think they could have done without the second stage. One band was playing on that northernmost stage with almost no people paying attention. I felt bad for them. The food options were improved this year, with the Chef Shack and Magic Bus Cafe on-site with the Lyn-Lake restaurants. Heidi's also had some burger specials specifically for the event. Summit had their beer truck out and I also saw someone with a to-go Bloody Mary. I never figured out where it came from though. Damn. Lots of other Lyn-Lake and local businesses had booths, like Nice Ride, Hair Police, The Loft Salon, some crafters selling cute jewelry and other odds and ends. Both salons were doing feather extensions. Maybe that should have been discussed among the salons before go-time, because they were just a couple of tents away from each other. And what was up with the poodles (with NEON-dyed fur, the poor things) being groomed right there in the middle of it all? There were little balls of pink dog fur blowing in the wind blocks away. Gross. Absurdly gross.

    Burger battle was such a filling experience literally and figuratively. 3 hours of all can you eat…read moreburgers and drinking beer. This year I went. It was rainy and having an umbrella was more of a burden than useful as you need all the hands to hold your burger and beer. Having a ponchos was the smartest choice we made that day. TIP - Come early! After a while some places run out of food if they are not out of food the lines become a 20 - 30 minute wait. Instead of a under 5 minute wait. If you have friends, divide and conquer and you will be able to try every single burger. So the food, yes. The burgers were great overall! If you love bacon, you will love this place as many of these places had bacon on their burger. Which is personally not ideal for me as I do not eat bacon. Crazy I know right!?!?! But there are many burgers that do not have bacon. Overall the burgers and beers are great. This event is fun and worth it, to do it once in your life.

    I absolutely love the idea of this event, and only wish it had slightly better execution. The deal…read moreis that you pay $55 for a ticket and get unlimited burgers and beer for three hours. It's a bit on the expensive side, but hey, all the proceeds go to charity. This year featured 25 local restaurants serving 2500 attendees. Some quick math with probably have you asking, "Wait, does that mean that 100 people are waiting for burgers from each restaurant at any given time?" Herein lies the problem. Allow me to set the scene. I attended the event with my fiance. Both of us were keenly aware of our meat consumption limitations going into this, so we came armed with a plan. Most of the burgers that are served here are sliders, with the rest being full-sized burgers that are cut into halves or quarters. Our plan was to only get one burger at each tent, which we'd then split, thereby allowing us to sample all 25 burgers without puking halfway through. We made sure to arrive early before the gates had opened, and there was already a long line to get in. Still, we were probably among the first couple hundred of people to enter, and we quickly grabbed our first pair of burgers from two adjacent tents. We each ate half, then traded burgers. Things were off to a good start. What we didn't realize was that while we were busy savoring those first few bites, the rest of the 2500 attendees had arrived, and each tent suddenly grew a very long line. We got into separate lines, following our agreed upon divide and conquer strategy, and about 15 minutes later had another pair of burgers to sample. Sadly, the wait times only increased from there. We decided that waiting in line for the super popular places (Red Cow, 5-8) just wasn't worth it, and instead got into some of the (comparably) shorter lines for the less well-known restaurants. This proved to be a pretty good strategy. We tasted some really good burgers, and some pretty disappointing ones. Now, the event touted itself as having unlimited beer in addition to unlimited burgers. We each managed to snag a beer right at the beginning, before the line got out of control. For the rest of the time, the beer line was consistently about four times long than any of the individual burger lines. This just didn't seem worth it to us, so we resorted to just getting bottled water, which had no line for the entire duration. This thing was supposed to last for three hours, which is how we were timing our burgers, but in actuality most of the tents ran out of something about two hours in and started packing up. I think the two hour mark was when the official judging started, so after that they didn't really have an incentive to keep handing out burgers. In the end, we ended up trying 13 different burgers, and truth be told we were super full at around the 9 burger mark, but thought we should at least pass the halfway point. This didn't end up being as fun as I would have expected, but after interviewing some fellow burger aficionados, we realized that we just didn't have the right battle plan going in. Here is the winning strategy, which we may yet implement in future years: 1. Come with a large group of friends. Eight people seems to be the ideal number. 2. As soon as you arrive, split up and have six people get in line at different tents, while the two remaining people get in the beer line (this ratio can of course be altered depending on if your group wants more burgers on more beer). 3. Each person in line at a burger tent takes two burgers when they reach the front. Each person in the beer line grabs as many beers as they can carry. 4. Meet up a one of the picnic tables. Cut each burger into fourths, and split the beer as you see fit. Everyone eats their six burger pieces, and has some beer. 5. Send your party out once more, this time to a new set of tents. 6. Repeat until everyone is full of burger and beer goodness. We actually encountered a couple of groups that were using this or a similar strategy. The general consensus seemed to be that this was a good way to taste all 25 burgers without feeling sick afterwards.

    The Taste of Minnesota was moved downtown for 2024 for a weekend of food, music and great weather!…read more It looked like a great turn out the event was controlled entry but still free to attend. I loved all the different music stages set up one had prince songs another for jazz. There were artists and of course the food trucks!! Staples like Anchor, Nawlins truck, Brownie Moms. There was a zip line set up and a beer garden also people with stamps so that you could get a drink was a nice change from those paper bracelets that are impossible to get off. Food: I loved the tender sweet sticky ribs at ono Hawaiian. Next we saw a billow of smoke coming up from a grill and headed over where Mara had set up an area in front of their restaurant at the four seasons. The chicken was delicious and juicy and the chermoula sauce brought it all together! I also had the pioroshki at the Ukrainian American booth a filling meat pocket which came with a refreshing creamy dill sauce and lastly had some garlic wings and an egg roll. It was a beautiful day to be out and really enjoyed the event. Looking forward to next year!

I came because Krewe (St. Joseph, MN) was there. Hopefully next year they will have some of their entrees. Parlour had great burgers too. Many offerings including paella, pizza, eclairs, sandwiches, etc... It was crowded but not State Fair crowded. We booked a hotel downtown and that saved us the hassle of transportation during the festival.
