It was a scorcher at this year’s Midwest Tomato Fest on Saturday, July 14 with temperatures reaching well into the 90s. But that didn’t stop the party. The staff kept everybody chill with frequent shots of ice-cold water from cannons and super soakers. The stage was set in the middle of downtown Minneapolis off of Portland Avenue with the gates opening up at noon and music, dancing, and goofing around persisted late into the day. The festival had something for everybody from the crashing beats of Chicago’s Gemini Club, bluesy tunes from The Blend, and the twang of every bodies favorite country tune from Tim Sigler and his band. In between musical sets and during the tomato fight DJ Zeke kept the crowd dancing with some bumping remixes of songs that mish mashed classics such as Guns N Roses “Sweet Child of Mine” with electronic beats and breaks of modern pop and hip hop.
