Join us for what has become a classic—and literally priceless—night out. This year’s eclectic music lineup includes fuzz busters Times New Viking from Ohio, plus local faves Roma di Luna, Gospel Gossip, and Halloween, Alaska. On the big screen, the Walker salutes one of Hollywood’s greatest film stars—the legendary Paul Newman. Spend your hot summer evenings with some of the actor’s coolest ’60s rebels: the brooding foil to sensuous Elizabeth Taylor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof; the ruthless cowboy in Hud; the anti-establishment hero of Cool Hand Luke; and the smoldering pool shark in The Hustler.

Lunds will have picnic fare available for purchase in Loring Park. In case of rain, events will move to the Walker Cinema. Seating is first-come, first-served.

Hanggai, the band originally scheduled to perform August 10, have canceled their entire U.S. tour due to visa issues. . . .
