Flint Hills Festival Performance - The Star Keeper
F.K.Weyerhaeuser Auditorium; 10:30am & 2:30pm
As he is lighting up the evening sky, Pierrot accidentally dislodges a star from above. Luckily, an endearing worm named Pretzel comes to the fallen star’s rescue and together they set off on a series of fantastical adventures while trying to return the star to its home. On their journey, they must climb a spider’s thread, cross the dormitory of dreams, dive into the ocean depths in pursuit of a pearl fish and resist the bewitching charms of the bubble tamer. Combining puppetry, visual poetry, music, and fantasy Théâtre de l’OEil creates a unique, non-verbal, magical performance.

Music in the Cafe - Sister Swing
Musser Cortile; 12pm; FREE
Grab your lunch or buy one from Anita's Cafe inside Landmark Center and enjoy a free one hour musical performance from local Twin Cities musicians!
“Sister Swing” consists of Maryann Sullivan and Rhonda Laurie on vocals and a wonderful core group of some of the best jazz musicians of the genre making a fun, swinging, vibrant take on tunes from the 20’s to the 50’s. From vintage style swinging standards to early dance rock, this group appeals to a wide age range of both dancers and listeners. Maryann and Rhonda met on the local jazz circuit. With a mutual admiration, and a similar musical esthetic, they decided to join forces to create a fun, creative group as a vehicle for delving into uplifting, repertoire with a “point of view” for audiences of both dancers and listeners. That group is “Sister Swing”. So smile, dance, listen and enjoy! Available for swing dances, concerts and special events.

Music in the Cafe - Chants & Seas
Musser Cortile; 12pm; FREE
Grab your lunch or buy one from Anita's Cafe inside Landmark Center and enjoy a free one hour musical performance from local Twin Cities musicians!
Born on a busy Dinkytown street corner in late 2011, Minneapolis-based Chants & Seas (Cecelia Erholtz and Channing Alto) have steadily been building their local prowess and strengthening their musical chops for the entire year they have known each other. Playing and writing original music that spans a number of genres (folk, soul, Americana, blues, bluegrass), the one commonality in all of Chants & Seas’ music is its ability to be played outside, around a campfire. This is a characteristic the band prides itself on, for it is where most of the music they play was inspired or written -- underneath the Minnesota night sky.
