| Hilary Lund for Cult Status Gallery |
While sporadic thunderstorms may put a damper on some of the outdoor activities scheduled for the weekend, there's always plenty of free stuff to do inside as well. If the weather is agreeable, you'll want to head on over to the three-day Stone Arch Festival of the Arts, the Juneteenth Celebration, and the Uptown leg of the Nature Valley Bicycle Festival.
If things get a little stormy, head inside the XYandZ Gallery for a really cool show featuring outdoor muralists Broken Crow, or get your craft on over at the Amsterdam Bar in St. Paul. Looking for some free theater? Clandestino opens at Mixed Blood this weekend. We've also updated our list of farmers' markets around town if you're looking to do a little healthy shopping.
Come take a look at the list.
