CULTURE + ENTERTAINMENT
“Whether someone’s coming for adventure, relaxation, family time, or just a quick getaway, there’s a good chance they’ll leave wanting to come back.” BRITTANY WAGNER
6:30 p.m. Evening had arrived, and the team parked at Music at the Meridian in Riverside Park by the infamous Meridian Bridge . The free summer concert held on Thursday nights in July is a newer event, but has quickly become one of Yankton’s signature summer experiences. There is a rotating lineup of regional live music, along with food trucks, drinks, and “a relaxed atmosphere.” “It’s designed as a true community event, with children’s activities that make it fun for families as well,” said Wagner. “What makes it special is how naturally it brings people together—locals, visitors, and families all gathering along the river to enjoy a summer evening in Yankton.” July 31 opened up with The Brassholes with headliner IVORY . Along with food vendors, there was a community mural project and local beer by Ben’s Brewing Company . 8 p.m. Feeling like a nightcap, 605 swung by The Ice House to break a bottle under the former loading dock (a Yankton rite of passage). We ended at The Brewery rooftop bar on Walnut Street for views of town as the sun set, with local brews in hand as we listened to live music and reflected on the day.
