Pavilion on Bde Maka Ska grand opening

Friday the new pavilion on Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis opened to the general public. This new pavilion comes four years after the old pavilion burned down. The pavilion includes the Pimento Market, a brand-new concept brought by Pimento Jamaican Kitchen. The market has grab and go items and locally made gifts to be purchased.

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board held a grand opening for the new pavilion at Bde Maka Ska on Friday. 

The $6.5 million project features a restaurant and market by Pimento Jamaican Kitchen. The restaurant, Pimento on the Lake, offers Jamaican cuisine right on Bde Maka Ska. The market will include grab-and-go food and drink items, as well as locally made gifts available to purchase. 

The pavilion also includes a small stage where bands can perform. 

The Pimento Market will be open all year for locals to come and get coffee or shop around.

The new pavilion comes four years after the original one, built in 1930, burned down
