Though the pandemic continues, organizers explained they’re “feeling very confident” with the progress in Minnesota:
“The Covid vaccine roll out in our area has been pretty amazing with everyone 16+ in our area who wants it has the opportunity to get it and starting next week the rest of the state of Minnesota will also. That coupled with the state opening up the capacity of outdoor events to 10,000 starting April 1, we are feeling very confident that everything is going in the right direction for summer outdoor festivals...Stay healthy, keep on doing your part to opening things up and we'll all get there together!”
