Ensuring Safety and Flavor at Taste of Minnesota Festival

The Taste of Minnesota, a free family-friendly event in downtown Minneapolis, is implementing extensive security measures to ensure the safety of the estimated 100,000 attendees. Retired Minneapolis police commander Scott Gerlicher has been appointed as the director of security and has coordinated a plan that includes metal detectors at entrances, bag checks, barricades, law enforcement presence, and surveillance cameras. The goal is to create a safe environment without overwhelming attendees. The event will feature live music and end at 8 p.m. on both Sunday and Monday.
