Savor The Tastes And Sip The Terroir Of The Driftless

Thursdays, 5-8pm | July 6 - August 31, 2023

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. A perennial summer favorite, this event presents a casual opportunity to explore how many different 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. Intricate and large scale sculptures of coral reefs by Courtney Mattison in Undercurrent bring attention to coral bleaching and the effect of climate change on our oceans. Concurrently, Liz Sexton’s lifelike and imaginative paper mâché sculptures of sea animals bring attention to dangers these animals face from habitat displacement due to human actions. 

Bike-in.  Paddle-in. Row-in. Drive-in.  Savor the tastes and sip the terroir of the driftless.
