Over 170 vendors will be in attendance for St. Cloud State University’s Lemonade Concert and Art Fair on June 26.

“It’s an honor to have hosted this event at SCSU for the past 52 years,” Director of Campus Involvement Molly McCann said. “We enjoy the opportunity to bring so many talented artists to campus and support the St. Cloud community.”

More than 50 vendors will be new this year, joining over 100 returning vendors who help make the annual event possible. The art fair runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The evening includes the opening ceremony for St. Cloud’s summer festival Granite City Days at 7 p.m., followed by a free performance from the St. Cloud Symphony Orchestra in Stewart Hall’s Ritsche Auditorium.

Live outdoor music will be provided by Donny Brag, Muffleur Band, Shiver Belly Dancers and Paul Imholte at the World Commons stage during the afternoon, and Nashville-based country singer Aaron Clafton will also perform from 12-3 p.m. KVSC is broadcasting live throughout the day.

There will also be numerous activities for kids at Little Lemons, a partnership with the Paramount Center for the Arts to create family-friendly activities for young attendees. It includes pottery demonstrations, paper clay hand building, button-making, chalk art and more.

Guests attending Lemonade are encouraged to park in K Lot, located next to the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center. A free shuttle will be available to transport guests to the upper campus.
