Rock the Garden is an annual summer music festival organized by the Walker Art Center and Minnesota Public Radio held in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The event has been sponsored by 89.3 The Current and Minnesota Public Radio since 2008, becoming more of an indie rock festival. One of the major changes that MPR has made is incorporating a local act into the lineup, with Cloud Cult in 2008, Solid Gold in 2009, and Retribution Gospel Choir in 2010.
