Lineup, tickets, traffic and everything else to know about the 2025 Minnesota Yacht Club Festival
A summer music festival that drew thousands to the riverfront last year is about to rock Minnesota's capital city again.
The three-day Minnesota Yacht Club Festival takes center stage in downtown St. Paul on Friday. This summer's headliners include Green Day and Hozier.
"Last year they were like locusts... they came in and ate us and drank us out of everything," said Julia Flaherty, who co-owns Joseph's Grill, which is just walking distance from Harriet Island Regional Park. "We look forward to this all year long, we plan for it."
Thirty-five thousand people are expected to descend upon St. Paul.
"Last year, we saw people from out of town. California, Canada. The Canadians were really fun," said Flaherty.
According to St. Paul police, around 400 officers will work the event over three days. Some are designated as traffic enforcement, while others will be assigned to the grounds, according to Senior Commander Jesse Mollner.
Are tickets still available for the 2025 Minnesota Yacht Club Festival?
Tickets are still available online. Prices range from $150 for a single day to $2,300 for a three-day exclusive experience with access to a lounge. General admission for three days starts at $295.
Police say that if you plan on coming, just leave your valuables at home. They also recommend paying attention to the festival's bag policy.
Getting to Yacht Club Festival could prove difficult
A combination of road closures and Green Line light rail maintenance is impacting transit to the festival. For information on how to get to the festival, click here.
The closures are also affecting businesses in downtown St. Paul, where the festival is expected to draw around 35,000 people Friday through Sunday. At Alary's, a nearby bar, staff are offering free parking and running a continuous shuttle to and from the concert venue.
MnDOT encourages drivers to check 511mn.org for updates, avoid cutting through local roads and allow extra travel time during closures.
