Savor The Tastes And Sip The Terroir Of The Driftless
THURSDAY, August 17 | 5-8PM | Boards on Boards Night
Seasonal and spirited and spirit free-beverages from across the Driftless.
Relax outdoors along the Minnesota Marine Art Museum's Riverwalk, Thursdays this summer at Mississippi Sippin. This evening presents a casual opportunity to explore how many art forms can be inspired by water. Enjoy a curated selection of spirited and non-spirited beverages, and small plates outside along the Mississippi River. Then, venture into the galleries (open late until 8pm) to see how exhibiting artists are using water as inspiration for their work.
Bike-in. Paddle-in. Row-in. Drive-in. Savor the tastes and sip the terroir of the driftless.
Food + Drink
Spired and non-spirited beverages, along with charcuterie boards from Blooming Grounds featuring Driftless Provisions, will be available for purchase.

Each month, a member from River Arts Alliance hosts a 90-minute artist meet-up and conversation with an artist, maker, designer, writer, or another creative person. In August, Janet Marie Hillis will host a discussion about Foraged, Found and Recycled Art.
