Mark your calendars: Headliners Sylvan Esso and Hippo Campus are among performers expected to take the stage at the 26th annual Basilica Block Party July 10-11 at the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis.
The Basilica of St. Mary kicks off its 150th anniversary celebration the final weekend of September with two Masses celebrated by Archbishop Bernard Hebda Sept. 30.
Proceeds from the 22-year-old event benefit The Basilica Landmark, which preserves and restores the historic church. A portion of all proceeds also goes to the parish’s St. Vincent de Paul outreach program, which provides services to people in need.
