Kingfield Neighborhood Association

Kingfield PorchFest 2018

Take a walk from the blues to some bluegrass, from indie-folk to Irish-folk to ukulele lady jams, all on a single summer evening in Kingfield. That’s PorchFest! Local musicians (many who live in the homes where they are performing) will play acoustic music outdoors while neighbors stroll through the neighborhood enjoying the sounds and our community. This year we welcome 50+ performing groups to over 30 stages throughout the neighborhood, mapped to keep you moving from site to site, as well as moving and grooving AT each site.

Give a listen and get a look at all the musical groups performing at Kingfield PorchFest 2018: either on our website or on Facebook at Kingfield PorchFest 2018! We are also linked on Make Music Day Twin Cities in partnership with VEGA Productions!  

If you want a map of the entire event, remember they are available at the Kingfield Farmers’ Market on Sunday June 17 for the presale price of $10, printed on a 100% cotton sky blue bandana and bundled with offers from some of our fabulous sponsors which are: Butter Bakery, Twin Town Guitars, Victor’s 1959 Cafe, The Lowbrow, and Pilot!  Buy one at the market and you will get the treat of getting to hear one of our local PorchFest musicians, Edie Rae!  

After Sunday you can Be A Supporter of this great local event and purchase them online for the regular $20 here!

M.L. King Park /Aliveness Project Donation Garden: Week 2

Plant these seedlings with Hennepin County Master Gardeners in the donation garden and learn how to grow these oh-so-good-for-you vegetables. Watch them grow all summer in the garden, but take the knowledge home with you today!

Bring your own vegetable gardening questions. Meet on the north end of the park building at the gardens near the Free Little Library.

We meet rain or shine; join us!

 

Today was a beautiful day, and so you should register for the 20th Annual Kingfield Community Yard Sale Extravaganza!

Where? At YOUR PLACE!

If you would like to have a garage or yard sale on that date, please let us know by sending your name and the address of your sale to before 7 PM on Tuesday, May 15th.

As in years past, we will place signs throughout the neighborhood letting everyone know about the sale! Due to a change in staffing we will not be publishing nor distributing printed maps this year and instead we will create an electronic version of the map showing the location of everyone’s sales and publish it on Kingfield social media (website, Facebook page, Twitter, and NextdoorKingfield). We hope this change in service still meets your needs, and you use this collective day to rid your home of unused items and clear out your garage!  [Read more…]
