About Us
Rhapsody Events evolved from our core business of nearly 20 years – performance tours. We have worked with bands, choirs, and orchestras, creating tours to destinations all over the US and Europe. Over time, we have grown our business to include specialty groups. We have brought wine lovers to Italy, foodies to Chicago, Elvis fans to Memphis, history buffs to Ireland, snowmobile clubs on Alaska cruises…If there is a common interest, we can create an experience to share.
Our flagship event is our annual St. Croix Valley Summer Music Series. We invite the area’s most requested bands from all over the state to bring their amazing talent to those who crave LIVE entertainment in a fun and comfortable atmosphere. The setting is a Minnesota favorite – Stillwater. The adventure includes amazing music, good food, and an evening cruise on the St. Croix River.
