Twelve bands in twelves hours.  That’s a lot of music even for Music City, Minnesota.  Those Vintage Band folks are just an irresistible force…of music.

It’s a one-day version of the oh-so-popular Vintage Band Festival, Saturday, August 2nd, 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., in Bridge Square.  Twelve diverse bands from around Minnesota, playing music from the Civil War to Smooth Jazz, will perform from morning to night.
