Lemonade Concert and Art Fair Returns Thursday, June 26th

(KNSI) — This Thursday, June 26th, marks the 52nd annual Lemonade Concert and Art Fair on the campus of St. Cloud State University.

There will be nearly 150 vendors on site, with over 50 of them coming here for the first time. Throughout the afternoon, the World Commons stage will host live performances by local and regional acts including Donny Brag, Muffleur Band, Shiver Belly Dancers, and Paul Imholte. Nashville country artist Aaron Clafton will take the stage from noon to 3:00 p.m.

The art fair will run from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., offering visitors a full day of browsing and serving as the unofficial kickoff to the Granite City Days festival. After the art fair at 7:00 is the opening ceremony and a complimentary concert courtesy of the St. Cloud Symphony Orchestra in Stewart Hall’s Ritsche Auditorium.

The special Little Lemons area developed with the Paramount Center for the Arts will help young visitors participate in hands on activities like pottery demonstrations, paper clay projects, custom button creation, and sidewalk chalk art.

Attendees are asked to park in K Lot near the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center, where complimentary shuttle service will transport guests to the main campus venue.

“It’s an honor to have hosted this event at SCSU for the past 52 years,” Director of Campus Involvement Molly McCann said. “We enjoy the opportunity to bring so many talented artists to campus and support the St. Cloud community.”
