All Saints Music Festival

The First Party of Summer…for Saints & Sinners
The Saints Music Festival is a collaborative party thrown by five Catholic parishes to promote our various ministries and to celebrate our rural heritage. Coming together to host and make this amazing music event happen builds on our commitment to help our neighbors and preserve the faith established by our Irish, German, and Polish ancestors over 150 year ago. And, throwing this bash at the historical Little Log House Pioneer Village couldn’t compliment our mission any better. Enjoy the show!

The Music:
We are thrilled to present three great bands, featuring headliner HAIRBALL, a group that consistently draws hoards of avid fans from across the Twin Cities. These Rock & Roll soldiers boast a playlist which includes all the best iconic, arena rock licks and chops of all time from Van Halen, Queen, Aerosmith, Journey, Prince, KISS and more, presented in an amazing lights, sound, smoke, and fire experience… not just another mere concert. But first, a local rock band, followed by Hairball’s warm-up band, will propel party goers into a good time and set the stage for a full-on night of Rock & Roll enthusiasm and energy - -all under the stars at the beautiful setting of the Little Log House Pioneer Village, near Hastings, MN. Gates open at 6pm.

The Idea.
We've had this idea to host a summer music party for several years now - -always batting around the idea of getting the 5 rural Catholic parishes together for some fun to support the good stuff we do (like mission trips, youth ministries, education, and programming to support the youth and aging in our community). We knew the event would be separate from our individual parish festivals. This new thing, would be larger, (louder) and more far-reaching than anything we'd ever done. We figured, if we've got families who can harvest hundreds of thousands of bushels of grain each fall and milk hundreds of gallons of milk twice every day..... then, without a doubt, we have the talent to pull this thing off. And the crazier part?
We are actually doing it. This party is happening.

The People.
Folks who make up the "ag" industry have amazing access to all kind of things needed for a huge party: tractors to pull people wagons; electric generators for lighting; huge tents, refrigerated trucks to chill beer; big, strong sons to handle security; experience getting a lot of things on wheels into a confined space, neatly and orderly; steers and pigs for burgers and brats, and big hearts to make things happen in the country. It's in their DNA.
