Vadnais Heights
A city in the Minneapolis & St. Paul area
Vadnais Heights is a quiet suburb on the northeast edge of the Twin Cities metro, and its live-music scene is centered almost entirely on one spot: Big Wood Brewery, a craft brewery, taproom, and patio on Centerville Road. The brewery's calendar mixes live music with beer release parties, cigar events, community fundraisers, and more. Admission to many of its shows is free. Past bookings have included Lonesome Losers playing Yacht Rock on the patio, and an annual Holiday Market pairing local vendors with a live acoustic set. The brewery's Oktimberfest event spans multiple days and features live Oktoberfest beer-hall music alongside German-style craft brews. Beyond the brewery, the city's annual Vadnais Heights Days festival at Community Park includes live music and a free Music in the Park summer concert series. For anyone in the area looking for a regular indoor or covered live-music spot, Big Wood is the only consistent option in town.
