Wood City returns next weekend

The free Wood City Music Festival returns to Cloquet’s Veterans Park from 11 a.m. to

10 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 12. The free Christian music festival features a wide range of musical styles, and musical acts include local and nationally known bands, including headliner We are Messengers.

While music takes center stage, there will also be a children’s play area — think bubbles and bouncies — and a prayer tent, along with lots of tasty offerings from local food trucks.

The festival is the brainchild of the Kingdom Builders Ministry group, a non-denominational nonprofit Christian organization, which aims to make the day both an opportunity to worship and enjoy time together for regular churchgoers, and just a fun event “so people who don’t know Jesus may get to meet him,” said KBM’s Lee Harris.
