This Week’s Lake Minnetonka Events
(March 23rd-Mar 28th)
Lake Minnetonka is a bit lighter on major events this weekend, but there is still plenty of strong local music happening around the lake. This week’s lineup is built more around talented regional musicians and smaller venue experiences than large community-wide events. One of the most unique events on the schedule is Pub Song Social at Boom Island Brewing, which adds an interactive Irish and Celtic pub-song experience to the weekend lineup.

Game Night: Initials Game Live — 6:30–8:30 PM — Boom Island Brewing
Initials Game Live is a fast, clue-based trivia game where each answer matches a set of initials. Clues get easier as the round goes on, but scoring rewards the teams that solve it early. It’s built for quick thinking, teamwork, and plenty of “we totally knew that” moments.
Open Jam: Wednesday Night Open Jam — 6:00–10:00 PM — Excelsior Brewing
Open Jam Night on the EBC stage with a full band setup provided (mics + gear), and all skill levels/styles welcome. Bring your instrument (or just show up and watch), meet other musicians, and jump in when you’re ready.
