Stomp Around Big Turn Two Nights at the Sheldon this Winter
Big Turn Two Nights @ The Sheldon will take place over two days (February 18-19, 2022) and gets its name from the sharp bend the broad Mississippi River takes as it flows through Red Wing.
You have to pack appropriately for this incredible music festival that the renowned Star Tribune has acknowledged. Consider bringing a warm coat and a good pair of boots for stomping the lingering Minnesotan snow, and some spending money to support the local businesses. The BTMF will occur in rain or shine, snow or blizzard, so please make sure you are always safe and responsible—we are in Minnesnowta, of course!
The lineup includes The Brothers Burn Mountain, Annie Mack, Heiruspecs, Bad Bad Hats, Low, and Cloud Cult. We recommend tracking the official festival Facebook page for all up-to-date information. Artists will have their own merchandise available for purchase, and the festival itself will have beanies, scarves, and posters. You will have keepsakes to last a lifetime.
Food and drink will be available at various venues throughout two nights, but we highly recommend visiting local downtown restaurants during your downtime. St. James Hotel is home to a phenomenal restaurant, Scarlet Kitchen & Bar and cocktail lounge, The Port !
