Minneapolis, Minnesota – Get ready to rock, Twin Cities! After a 2-year hiatus, the Basilica Block Party is officially BACK for 2024 – and this time, it’s going to be bigger and better than ever before. We have the official deats you need to know!
A New Home for the Beloved Block Party
That’s right, the iconic music festival that’s been a Twin Cities summer staple for over two decades is moving to an exciting new venue – the scenic Boom Island Park right on the mighty Mississippi River. Don’t worry, it’s still in Minneapolis! Construction near the Basilica of St. Mary, the event’s usual home base, prompted the temporary relocation. But organizers promise the new spot will make this the most epic block party yet.
My hubby Jack and I are already making plans to go this awesome festival.

More Than Just an Epic Party
So yes, the Basilica Block Party is going to be THE most talked about event of summer 2024. But it’s about so much more than just great music and good times with friends. Did you know this whole shebang started almost 30 years ago as a fundraiser to restore the historic Basilica of St. Mary?
Yep, a portion of proceeds from the festival go toward maintaining that stunning landmark so future generations can enjoy it too. Plus, 5% of funds raised support the Basilica’s St. Vincent de Paul outreach program to help those in need in the community. So you can feel good knowing your ticket purchase is giving back!
