Favourite Girl & Tyte Phitt bands at Lake Harriet Bandshell

Free.
Favourite Girl musical performance starts at 5:30, Tyte Phitt at 7:30 PM.
I plan to be there by 4:30 PM. Come early to beat the crowd; this is the kick-off event for the Minneapolis parks summer music-in-the-park season. Come early for introductions and conversation before the music starts.

Favourite Girl is the new Femme-forward rock/pop band led by British songwriter Katy Vernon. Here's how my Google AI answer described them: "Known for its feminist resistance rock, the band features melodic folk-pop influences, 60s-inspired girl group energy, and strong, empowering lyrics." I heard them for the first time a few months ago. That sounds about right. Simply put: they're good.

Tyte Phitt puts on a sustained high energy show of Ole- and New-School Funk, R&B, Soul, Pop, Hip-Hop, and Classic Rock.
I saw them for the first time recently and had a fantastic time dancing to their covers, including some of my favorites.

Feel free to join in dancing or not, with or without a partner. It's typically a fun group-dance happening at Lake Harriet.

Parking:
Pay parking in nearby lots. I can usually find a free spot on the street on the neighborhood just to the west of the bandshell area, on Queen Ave. S.

Bring a lawn chair or blanket, water, cash and credit card (probably both is best) for parking, or food at the concession area (the Bread and Pickle), or possibly a food truck. "Cash is king" but sometimes credit cards are required for parking, and for vendors who don't like large sums of cash on hand.
Mosquito repellant may or may not be needed (your guess is as good as mine).
I use ear plugs when dancing near the band (your call, of course).

Weather:
In case of rain: monitor the Minneapolis Parks Music in the Parks Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/mplsmusicmovies/ .
If/when I find out about any cancellation or go-ahead the day of this event I'll post a comment on this page with information as soon as I am able.

How to find us:
As you face the stage from the audience look to your right, and behind you, in a shaded area, by the small hill. I look like my photo. I'll be wearing my orange-green-red-yellow "jungle leaves" design cap. Look for a 5 ft. green pole with a blue pennant on it. It'll be near us.
