Join us for a vibrant celebration on Saturday, August 2, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Hell's Kitchen, featuring the musical duo Nikki Matteson and Rich Rue, originally from Minneapolis. Known for their captivating performances inspired by the sounds of the 1950s and 1960s, their music blends elements of blues, especially country and female blues, creating an intimate and joyful experience with Rich's blistering slide guitar and Nikki's melodious voice. This event coincides with the Open Streets Central Avenue celebration, transforming the streets into a lively showcase of Minneapolis' creativity, featuring public art, dance performances, pop-up shops, games, and family-friendly activities, alongside hundreds of vendors, food trucks, and live music.
