Overview
- Organizers said in a website notice that the music festival has concluded and that the 2024 event was its last.
- Proceeds from the concert series historically supported the Basilica Landmark and the Basilica’s St. Vincent de Paul outreach program.
- Launched in 1995, the event shifted sites over the years from the Basilica of St. Mary’s parking lot to Loring Park and most recently to Boom Island Park.
- After a 2020 pandemic cancellation and a scaled-back 2021 with lower attendance, organizers paused the festival in 2025 to weigh future options.
- The 2024 return at Boom Island featured the Goo Goo Dolls and The Fray, while Counting Crows had their set cut short by rain.
