Minnesota K-Pop Connect (MNKPOPCONNECT) is launching into summer with the K-Pop Summer Bash Kickoff, a high-energy event taking over Saint Paul RiverCentre on Saturday, June 20.

This free event will feature show-stopping performances from the local K-Pop community, dance competitions and random play dance challenges, K-Pop vendors, a costume contest, raffles, giveaways, and more.

The event will also feature a photocard trading area, giving fans the opportunity to swap cards, grow their collections, and meet other K-Pop fans who share their enthusiasm for their favorite groups.

Whether fans are coming with a crew or flying solo, this is the perfect place to hang out with friends, meet new people, and build real connections.

K-Pop Summer Bash Kickoff is part of MNKPOPCONNECT’s growing lineup of seasonal K-Pop events hosted at Saint Paul RiverCentre. Known for drawing hundreds of attendees from across Minnesota and neighboring states, MNKPOPCONNECT events continue to elevate the Midwest K-Pop scene with professionally produced experiences that rival national fan conventions.
