With the help of a Lake Street Lift grant, the non-profit Hook & Ladder Theater is activating a series of on-site stages and satellite locations, including; performances and an arts market at 2709 Lake Street and an additional performance stage inside the neighboring Arbeiter brewing! In all, the festival is presenting 22 acts in 2025!  While The Hook & Ladder capacity/footprint requires a ticket purchase (or registration code from a community partner) to enter, the alternate stages are both barrier-free and open the community!
 

7 Stages: Outdoor Main Stage • Indoor Theater & Lounge Stages • Indoor Zen Arcade Stage & Lounge • Arbeiter Brewing Stage • Art Lot Stage

This award winning music, food and arts festival features an eclectic mix of the best local, regional and national entertainment across seven stages, and a wide variety of local craft food and beverage options. This unique summer celebration of performance, craft, and culinary art is also the annual fundraiser for The Firehouse Performing Arts Center, the non-profit community theater that is home to The Hook & Ladder Theater, Zen Arcade/Mission Room, and the Under The Canopy music series.

We will also be paying tribute to Chris Johnson, the founder of Deep Blues Festival.Chris held the inaugural festival in 2007 to celebrate the alternative and blues- influenced music he felt deserved more attention.  Fan turned organizer, Chris became one of the most beloved and valued members of the Deep Blues scene. As proprietor of Bayport BBQ, Chris presented and hosted the artists and music he loved. The club was named “Best Blues Venue” in the Twin Cities.  Chris’ wife Kristen and his children will be in attendance as we honor the Godfather of Deep Blues.
 
Tickets are $40-60 for this fully immersive city-central festival experience, with proceeds going towards continuing the valuable year-round community programming offered at The Firehouse Performing Arts Center.
