On August 25th, join SooVAC at Pat's Tap Block Party to explore oddities of the artistic kind with Sideshow Soo, Year Two!

Generously donated funds will help us pay the wonderul artists creating this year's games, and cover production costs. Last year, carnival goers had the chance to rescue stranded unicorns, spear stuffed animal wiener-dogs with antlers, and play constrained table tennis.

SooVAC's interactive carnival celebrates the vibrant Minnesota arts scene with artist-created carnival games and oddities for all ages.This year's artists are busy at work creating a whole new lineup of games to dazzle and delight. Snap a picture with life-sized animal crackers in our giant photo booth, fish out of an over-sized mobile fishtank, ride through a magic unicorn mountain and sample Minnesota biome favored cotton candy. Have your fortune revealed by international fortune-telling sensation Zoraya, make your own spin art, dine on fantastic local fare, and much, much more.

How can you join in on the madness? Contributing is a great way to start, we have a great lineup of rewards to thank you!

Mark your calendars for August 25th, 3-9pm at Pat's Tap to help us to celebrate and support the vibrant Minnesota arts community and our fantastic gang of artists: Scott Artley, Molly Balcom Raleigh, Michael Beachy, Aaron Brand, Jaime Carrera, Julia Caston, Tara Costello, Jennifer Davis, Mary Jane Mansfield, P.J. Maracle, Robin Schwartzman, Joan Vonderbruggen, Nancy Waller, and more.
