Yacht Rock On The Shores of Lake Minnetonka

The 15 year Twin Cities tradition known as Yacht Rock kicks off this summer on Saturday, June 8th with our brand new partner – Back Channel Brewing on the shores of Lake Minnetonka!

We invite you to come out and enjoy a sunset, cool drinks and a cover-free night of soft rock, mellow r & b and smooth disco from the 1970s and ‘80s…complete with music videos displayed on the Jumbotron … that’s right, we said Jumbotron!

We’ll kick off the evening relaxing with an ultra-smooth cocktail hour followed by a dance party that’ll make you steal away into the night.

As always your nautical wardrobe and/or vintage threads from the ’70s and early ’80s are highly encouraged but never expected.

And we don’t wanna change your life
But, there’s a warm wind blowing the stars around
And we’d really love to see you this night!”
