How does it work?
- This outdoor event takes place Wednesdays in June, July & August 2026 at The Gardens of Castle Rock, 26601 Chippendale Ave, Northfield, MN 55057. The event moves inside the tent during rain.
- The self-service style of this event is meant to be relaxed and laid back. Do not expect traditional restaurant service.
- Carpooling is encouraged because many guests are single riders coming from work. Parking is available in The Gardens parking lot. Please follow the signs.
- $5.00 entrance fee per person is payable upon arrival / check-in at the front entrance. The fee helps us cover the cost of hosting this event and helps maintain a sustainable guest count. Gardens’ 2026 and 2027 wedding couples receive complimentary admission – be sure to notify the entrance attendant.
