Solstice Mankato, Inc.

Welcome to Festival Solstice! The annual event is put on by a team of like-minded folks who love music, paddling area rivers and have a passion for their community. Solstice started as a people's fair for the community to meet up and enjoy the blend of music and the outdoors. The Festival has evolved into a regional event that takes place at a beautiful and historic park. Land of Memories is rich with Native American history and settled in the valley where a confluence of major area rivers merge into the city of Mankato. You will experience camping, opportunities for paddling the rivers guided by a local outfitter, culturally flavored foods, craft beer, morning yoga with professional yoga instructors, craft vendors and of course an amazing lineup of 12-15 bands! Come enjoy the longest daylight of the year, celebrating life, light, and love!
