Adam Johnson, with Visit St. Paul, said the tent parties and festivities inside the bars will go on as usual for LuckyPalooza. But Johnson said organizers and restaurant owners will likely wait until Saturday morning to decide if anything will be cancelled. Johnson said, "It'll still be a great place to come down to, we'll just take some precautions within the street."

For now, Pat Boemer, owner of Patrick McGovern's Pub in St. Paul, said: "We're going full-speed ahead."

5 EYEWITNESS NEWS was at Patrick McGovern's Pub in St. Paul as crews set up its big tent.

Boemer said, "The way I'm looking at this thing, you can't control Mother Nature."

McGovern's has been a neighborhood favorite for nearly four decades. Boemer said he still plans to pack around 1,000 people underneath the tent over the course of LuckyPalooza, even with the snow storm expected this weekend.

Boemer said, "It's a party and everybody likes a party."

Boemer added, "We've got people that'll maintain, so the tent doesn't have any kind of problem, as far as the weight and everything with the snow."

Johnson said, "We'll encourage all of the participants in the festival to take precautions." He said businesses can have workers use roof rakes so there's no risk of collapse.

Johnson said the main stage and bike ride activation are the two big events that could be cut.

Johnson and Boemer said because the Boy's State High School Hockey Tournament is going on, even if the weather does keep some revelers away from LuckyPalooza, they don't believe businesses will lose much business, if any.

This year will be the fifth year of LuckyPalooza.
