Saturday, July 18, marked day two of the third year of Minnesota Yacht Club at Harriet Island in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Big energy from Matt & Kim and Devon Gilfillian, as well as local bands Porch Light and Yam Haus kicked off a beautiful day. Lucy Dacus, Jensen McRae, and The All-American Rejects beat the heat with sets later that afternoon.

The day wrapped up with inspired sets from Geese, Lord Huron, and Matchbox Twenty. Geese frontman Cameron Winter joked that the last time they were in town, they played at a "bar and grill" in reference to Amsterdam Bar & Hall.
