Twin Cities Frocktails

Twin Cities Frocktails is an annual event that celebrates and connects the local sewing community through a fabulous night out together.

​

Frocktails is a global event that brings together sewists and fashion enthusiasts. Frocktails events worldwide, are usually large social gatherings where participants dress up in fancy outfits they've made themselves. The events are an opportunity to meet up with fellow sewists, make new friends, and enjoy a night of talking about sewing and showing off your garment.

​

​But it doesn’t stop there! TC Frocktails aims to nurture the sewing community through workshops, get-togethers and more, all throughout the year. 

The evening event will be filled with dancing, food, drinks, photos, and lots of opportunities to meet new people! Everyone is welcome to show off their outfits by strutting their stuff in the fashion show and red carpet.

Your ticket will include drink tickets, raffle tickets, food, professional photos, a swag bag, and more!

Since the event is at a brewery, craft beers, seltzers, and THC seltzers are available. Hard liquor and wines are not able to be served at this venue. If you use up your allotted drink tickets for the evening, additional drinks may be purchased from the bar. To-go drinks will also be available.

Light bites such as nachos and pretzels will be available at the event. Purchases can also be made at the bar for additional food items. A list of recommended restaurants in the area will be provided prior to the event.

Yes! Everyone is welcome to come to Frocktails. Networking and meeting new people is the purpose of the evening. The event is aimed at connecting sewists to each other (How often do you get to be in a room of people who share your same niche passion??) but absolutely everyone is invited. 

You do not need to make your own outfit. Anyone is welcome to come, regardless of your skill level or expertise. But be prepared to be asked if you made your outfit!

The state of Minnesota is home to over 230 craft breweries; the city of Minneapolis alone has over 80.

We are excited to be hosting at Fulton Brewing taproom in the North Loop of Minneapolis. Located on the northern edge of downtown Minneapolis off of Highway 55.

Everyone is welcome to enjoy the evening in their own way. Drink tickets will be provided at the door for alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Water will always be provided free of charge.

Parking prices are not included. Very limited street parking is available around the venue. We highly encourage everyone to use a ride-share app or use the Light Rail Blue or Green line (Target Field Station stop) to attend the evening's events.

Located just two blocks from Target Field Station, the Blue line will take you from the airport straight to the venue's doorstep (Northbound). The Blue line can also take you all the way to Mall of America (Southbound). Learn more here.
