One of last year's most popular new entries in the Minneapolis block party circuit is teaming with one of Minneapolis' preeminent skateboard shops for an even bigger affair this year.

P.O.S's The Fucking Best Show Ever -- which celebrated the Doomtree rapper's rebound from a kidney transplant last summer -- will join forces with Familia Skate Park & Shop for a two-day bash, which kicks off June 12 at First Avenue with a Ying Yang Twins concert and continues June 13 with the block party outside the skate park, featuring P.O.S., Marijuana Deathsquads, New Orleans' reality-TV and hip-hop star Big Freedia and others.

Located at 835 Hennepin Av. E. in northeast Minneapolis, the skate park will host the outdoor portion of the show to celebrate Familia's 10th anniversary. P.O.S is well-known to be an avid skater and probably longtime customer of their store. The all-ages party will feature a trick contest sponsored by Thrasher magazine.

Tickets go on sale Saturday at noon via First Avenue outlets and Familia HQ at the very skater-punk-friendly price of $15. Here's the full rundown on the events:
