Summer in Minnesota is finally here and with that comes live African music and cultural festivals. While our state didn’t make Allianz Partners’ 2023 Top 10 Domestic Destinations list, touring African artists are making their way to us and there are also plenty of local ones you can take in this summer and yes there is also the Bayfront Reggae & Music Festival in Duluth, with roundtrip shuttle available for those in the Twin Cities.
Here is what Mshale staff know is happening. Bookmark this page as acts will be added as we learn of them. Feel free to send us what we missed at this link.
