      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI8865607687</link>
      <description>Hey listeners, if you're looking for ways to spend your time in the Twin Cities this week, you're in for a treat. We've got some fantastic events happening right now through the weekend that'll get you out of the house and into the community.

Let's start with what's happening this Saturday, April 4th. Sister Spokesman is hosting a spring celebration called The Earth Bounces Back, and So Do I at Bachman's Floral in Minneapolis. This runs from noon to 3 p.m. at their Heritage Room located at 6010 Lyndale Avenue South. It's a joyful afternoon all about renewal and fresh beginnings, and here's what makes it special: you'll get hands-on planting with expert Lea Nordos from Bachman's, and you'll actually get to take home the seasonal flowers you plant. Live music will be provided by musical artist Jamela Pettiford, and there will be refreshments available as you connect with neighbors and community members. Tickets are just ten dollars, and optional lunch tickets are available for purchase on site.

Also happening this weekend is the European Friendship Ride on Saturday, May 9th. This is a thirty-two-mile bike ride that celebrates Europe Day. The Kolo Sokol bike group is co-hosting with the Alliance Française Minneapolis-St. Paul and the Germanic American Institute. The ride starts at Sokol's hall in St. Paul, heads up the river to the Alliance Française location in Minneapolis, then loops back down the other side past Minnehaha Falls. It's almost entirely on bike trails and marked lanes, so it's perfect for riders of all levels. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and it's open to members and friends of European American organizations in the area.

If you're a film fan, mark your calendar for Wednesday, April 8th through Sunday, April 19th for the Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival. General admission is seventeen dollars per screening, and it's happening at The Main Cinema.

The Twin Cities are absolutely packed with community spirit this week. Whether you're planting flowers, riding bikes along the Mississippi, or catching a film, there's something for everyone.

      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI8944230613</link>
      <description>Hey listeners, welcome to your friendly guide for what to do in Minneapolis-Saint Paul this weekend and beyond. Today, Saturday March 28th, the Twin Cities are buzzing with energy, starting with the massive No Kings rally at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. FOX 9 reports organizers expect tens of thousands, possibly up to 150,000 people, making this the flagship event nationwide protesting President Trump's policies, including the recent immigration crackdown and the war in Iran. FOX 9 and the Associated Press confirm big names like Bruce Springsteen performing Streets of Minneapolis, Bernie Sanders, Jane Fonda, Joan Baez, and Maggie Rogers taking the stage at the 2 p.m. rally. Marches kick off at noon from St. Paul College on Marshall Avenue, Harriet Island, and Western Sculpture Park, all converging peacefully with trained marshals on hand—Indivisible Twin Cities emphasizes nonviolence. Plan for road closures like Wabasha Street, John Ireland Boulevard, and I-94 exits from morning through evening, so check FOX 9 for live streams and maps.

Music lovers, catch Cowboy Junkies tonight at the historic Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, a cozy 1910 venue perfect for their soulful set—First Avenue has tickets ready.

Hop over to Minneapolis for free vibes: Racket MN's Freeloader Friday lists the Spring Artist Market with Native vendors selling crafts and jewelry at All My Relations Arts on East Franklin Avenue through tomorrow. Farmers markets are popping too—Minneapolis Winter Farmers Market at 312 East Lyndale Avenue North from 9 a.m. to noon, and St. Paul Indoor at 308 Prince Street till 1 p.m., both Saturdays through April.

Sunday brings March Madness watch parties at North Loop Green from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Lavender and Lights Spring Makers Market at Queermunity MN on Hennepin Avenue from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and live tunes like Nato Coles at White Squirrel Bar in St. Paul.

      <title>Twin Cities Events This Week: Hockey, Music, The Moth, and a Historic Rally</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI7326553678</link>
      <description>Hey listeners, welcome to your go-to guide for what's shaking in Minneapolis-Saint Paul this week—I'm your friendly neighborhood event scout, and we've got an electrifying lineup from today through the weekend that screams Twin Cities energy!

Kick things off tonight, Wednesday March 25, with not one but two can't-miss shows. First, lace up for the Minnesota Frost versus Montreal hockey showdown at Grand Casino Arena in Saint Paul at 6 p.m.—a high-stakes pro women's game where the Frost bring their A-game on home ice, according to the arena's event page. Then, storytelling magic unfolds at The Fitzgerald Theater in Saint Paul with The Moth at 8 p.m., presented by First Avenue—real-life tales from locals that hit you right in the feels, as listed on AXS tickets. Music lovers, head straight to Minnesota Music Cafe in Saint Paul for the Jam Society Open Jam special Wednesday edition from 7 to 11 p.m.—grab your instrument, sign up at jamsociety.org, or just soak in killer local jams with full food, bar, and free parking, straight from Eventbrite and the cafe's calendar.

Thursday March 26 keeps the rhythm rolling at Minnesota Music Cafe with Drums of Navarone from 7 to 10 p.m., blending Afro-Cuban salsa, mambo, and funky vibes for a dance-packed night, per the venue calendar.

But hold onto your hats, because Saturday March 28 explodes with epic highlights. The massive No Kings rally at the Minnesota State Capitol in Saint Paul starts with marches at noon leading to a 2 p.m. program—Bruce Springsteen debuts his protest anthem "Streets of Minneapolis," joined by Bernie Sanders, Jane Fonda, Joan Baez, and Maggie Rogers, as reported by Good Good Good, KSTP, and the Minnesota Star Tribune. It's a powerhouse stand against injustice, expecting huge crowds. Right after, gear up for Minnesota Roller Derby at Roy Wilkins Auditorium in Saint Paul, doors at 5 p.m. and action at 6 p.m.—trackside seats for the thrill right up close, kids policies in place, and RiverCentre parking ramps nearby, details from the official event site.

Whether you're jamming, cheering, protesting, or derby-dodging, this week's got that classic MSP mix of heart, hustle, and harmony. Dive in, stay safe, and make memories!

Kick things off tonight, Wednesday March 25, with not one but two can't-miss shows. First, lace up for the Minnesota Frost versus Montreal hockey showdown at Grand Casino Arena in Saint Paul at 6 p.m.—a high-stakes pro women's game where the Frost bring their A-game on home ice, according to the arena's event page. Then, storytelling magic unfolds at The Fitzgerald Theater in Saint Paul with The Moth at 8 p.m., presented by First Avenue—real-life tales from locals that hit you right in the feels, as listed on AXS tickets. Music lovers, head straight to Minnesota Music Cafe in Saint Paul for the Jam Society Open Jam special Wednesday edition from 7 to 11 p.m.—grab your instrument, sign up at jamsociety.org, or just soak in killer local jams with full food, bar, and free parking, straight from Eventbrite and the cafe's calendar.

Thursday March 26 keeps the rhythm rolling at Minnesota Music Cafe with Drums of Navarone from 7 to 10 p.m., blending Afro-Cuban salsa, mambo, and funky vibes for a dance-packed night, per the venue calendar.

But hold onto your hats, because Saturday March 28 explodes with epic highlights. The massive No Kings rally at the Minnesota State Capitol in Saint Paul starts with marches at noon leading to a 2 p.m. program—Bruce Springsteen debuts his protest anthem "Streets of Minneapolis," joined by Bernie Sanders, Jane Fonda, Joan Baez, and Maggie Rogers, as reported by Good Good Good, KSTP, and the Minnesota Star Tribune. It's a powerhouse stand against injustice, expecting huge crowds. Right after, gear up for Minnesota Roller Derby at Roy Wilkins Auditorium in Saint Paul, doors at 5 p.m. and action at 6 p.m.—trackside seats for the thrill right up close, kids policies in place, and RiverCentre parking ramps nearby, details from the official event site.

Whether you're jamming, cheering, protesting, or derby-dodging, this week's got that classic MSP mix of heart, hustle, and harmony. Dive in, stay safe, and make memories!

Rock out with Steel Panther's glam metal parody at Varsity Theater at 7 p.m., full of theatrical laughs.

Yesterday's highlights spilled into today—Trails By Lantern Light at Whitetail Woods Regional Park in Farmington runs till 10 p.m. tonight, a free illuminated hike with a bonfire, courtesy of Family Fun Twin Cities. Catch RoboCop screenings at Trylon Cinema, like 3 p.m. and 5:15 p.m., for cult film nostalgia.

The rest of the week builds excitement. Monday through Friday, ongoing Guthrie Theater gems shine: Sleuth, a twisty psychological thriller, and Macbeth on the Wurtele Thrust Stage, both immersive with shows daily—check GuthrieTheater.org for times. Punch Bowl Social in Minneapolis keeps the party going midweek with arcade games and drinks. Families, hit SEA LIFE Aquarium or Crayola Experience at Mall of America anytime for indoor adventures. Wellness seekers, The Phoenix offers Functional Movement sessions, like today's 2 p.m. class in nearby Hamel.

Weekend two peaks with Mrs. Doubtfire the Musical at Ordway Center in St. Paul, hilarious Broadway touring fun.

      <title>Twin Cities Hockey Takes Center Stage This Week</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI5075487491</link>
      <description>Minneapolis–Saint Paul listeners, if you’re wondering what to do this week, you’ve got a seriously packed Twin Cities lineup.

Let’s start with today in Saint Paul, where hockey absolutely owns the spotlight. According to Grand Casino Arena’s event listing, the MSHSL Boys Hockey State Tournament wraps up with a full day of Class A and Class AA showdowns. Class A plays the third-place game this morning at 9:30 a.m. and the championship at 12 p.m., followed by Class AA’s third-place game at 4 p.m. and the big championship at 7 p.m. in downtown Saint Paul. This is Minnesota hockey at its loudest and most dramatic, with reserved seating, packed student sections, and a true state-tournament atmosphere.

Right next door, Saint Paul RiverCentre is buzzing with the Let’s Play Hockey Expo. The RiverCentre’s event page calls it the world’s largest consumer hockey show, running from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today. It’s powered by the Minnesota Wild and tied directly to the tournament, with more than 100 exhibitors showing off brand-new gear from Warrior, CCM, True Hockey, and a long list of local and national hockey brands. Listeners can test equipment, check out training tools, browse backyard rink setups, and hit interactive skill stations. Admission is just five dollars for adults 19 and over, and free for 18 and under, making it a great family stop between games.

If you prefer to be on the ice yourself, Ramsey County’s event calendar lists a free open skate this afternoon at Highland Arena in Saint Paul from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at 800 Snelling Avenue South. It’s a nice option if you’re inspired by all that tournament energy and want to lace up your own skates without spending a dime.

Looking to build out plans for the rest of the week and beyond, Explore Minnesota’s statewide festival and events calendar highlights an ongoing run of Men On Boats in Minneapolis through March 6, and the ABBA-themed show ABBASolutely Fab in nearby Chanhassen through March 7. Those give listeners theater and music options if you want a midweek or next-weekend outing beyond downtown.

According to Grand Casino Arena’s event listing, the MSHSL Boys Hockey State Tournament wraps up with a full day of Class A and Class AA showdowns. Class A plays the third-place game this morning at 9:30 a.m. and the championship at 12 p.m., followed by Class AA’s third-place game at 4 p.m. and the big championship at 7 p.m. in downtown Saint Paul. This is Minnesota hockey at its loudest and most dramatic, with reserved seating, packed student sections, and a true state-tournament atmosphere.

Right next door, Saint Paul RiverCentre is buzzing with the Let’s Play Hockey Expo. The RiverCentre’s event page calls it the world’s largest consumer hockey show, running from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today. It’s powered by the Minnesota Wild and tied directly to the tournament, with more than 100 exhibitors showing off brand-new gear from Warrior, CCM, True Hockey, and a long list of local and national hockey brands. Listeners can test equipment, check out training tools, browse backyard rink setups, and hit interactive skill stations. Admission is just five dollars for adults 19 and over, and free for 18 and under, making it a great family stop between games.

If you prefer to be on the ice yourself, Ramsey County’s event calendar lists a free open skate this afternoon at Highland Arena in Saint Paul from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at 800 Snelling Avenue South. It’s a nice option if you’re inspired by all that tournament energy and want to lace up your own skates without spending a dime.

Looking to build out plans for the rest of the week and beyond, Explore Minnesota’s statewide festival and events calendar highlights an ongoing run of Men On Boats in Minneapolis through March 6, and the ABBA-themed show ABBASolutely Fab in nearby Chanhassen through March 7. Those give listeners theater and music options if you want a midweek or next-weekend outing beyond downtown.

      <title>Your Weekend Guide to Minneapolis-Saint Paul: Hockey, Music, and More</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI6597511889</link>
      <description>Hey listeners, welcome to your go-to guide for what's buzzing in Minneapolis-Saint Paul this weekend and beyond. Today, Friday, March 6th, kick things off with high energy at the Let's Play Hockey Expo at Saint Paul RiverCentre. This world's largest consumer hockey show, powered by the Minnesota Wild, runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., packed with cutting-edge gear from brands like Warrior, CCM, and True Hockey. Test your skills at interactive stations, snag swag from over 100 exhibitors, and catch celebrity appearances plus door prize drawings—it's $5 for adults 19 and up, free for kids 18 and under. Perfect for puckheads as it ties into the Minnesota State High School League Boys Hockey State Tournament.

Tonight, groove to Afrobeats to the World in the Twin Cities, celebrating vibrant music and culture with beats that'll have you dancing all evening, according to the Spokesman-Recorder. Or head to a local distillery for Cooking at the Distillery: Sip, Sauté, and Savor, blending tasty bites with craft spirits for a fun, hands-on night.

Saturday, March 7th, the Hockey Expo continues from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., so double up if you missed it yesterday. Then, dive into Strictly R&amp;B: Her Night, spotlighting powerhouse women in R&amp;B for a sultry nightlife vibe.

On Sunday, March 8th, get crafty at the Needle Felting on a Hoop Workshop, where you'll create stunning fiber artwork—ideal for creative souls, as highlighted by the Spokesman-Recorder.

Looking ahead this week, the St. Paul Saints are ramping up for their season opener on March 31 at CHS Field, but they're already teasing epic fun like the Ultimate Prank Game on April 1 and Easter Sunday on April 5. Weekly staples include Thirsty Thursday $2 beers starting later this month, Friday Night Fireworks powered by Xcel Energy, and family Sundays with kids running the bases post-game. Tickets are a steal from $5 to $35.

Mark your calendars for bigger thrills: Pride Night June 18, Star Wars Night June 5 with fireworks, and the Double Play 5K on July 1 combining a run through Lowertown and a game ticket. Dog Days, Harry Potter night, and a massive July 4th semiquincentennial bash with fireworks and food trucks await too.

Whether you're lacing up skates, sipping cocktails, or planning baseball outings, Minneapolis-Saint Paul delivers non-stop adventure. Thanks for tuning in, listeners—subscribe for more weekly updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI4270476300</link>
      <description>Hey listeners, welcome to your go-to guide for what’s rocking Minneapolis-Saint Paul this week, starting right now on this chilly Tuesday evening. Whether you’re craving killer tunes, activist vibes, or family fun, the Twin Cities are buzzing with energy from today through the weekend. Let’s dive in and plan your adventure.

Kick off tonight with Yo-Yo Ma joining the Minnesota Orchestra at Orchestra Hall for a masterful performance that blends classical genius with local flair, as detailed in Racket’s complete concert calendar. Over at the Fillmore, Nothing More headlines with Catch Your Breath and Archers, delivering high-octane rock to get your heart pumping. Music lovers, don’t sleep on Red Planet at Metronome Brewery or the Bill Simenson Orchestra swinging into Jazz Central.

      <title>Twin Cities Weekend Guide: Wrestling, Film, Music and More This February and March</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI7324330146</link>
      <description>Hey, Twin Cities listeners, it's your go-to guide for what's popping in Minneapolis-Saint Paul this weekend and into next week, starting right now on this chilly February 28th. Grab your mittens and let's dive into the fun—there's wrestling thrills, film fests, comedy nights, and more to shake off the winter blues.

Kicking off today, head to the Grand Casino Arena for the MSHSL Wrestling State Tournament, running through February 28th. It's high-stakes action with top high school grapplers from across Minnesota battling it out—perfect for sports fans craving that electric atmosphere, according to the arena's event lineup. Film buffs, don't miss the 17th Italian Film Festival at The Main Cinema in Minneapolis, screening all day with tickets from just five bucks up to 45 dollars, as listed by the Star Tribune. Over in West Saint Paul, Ramsey County offers Cross Country Skiing for Beginners at 9 a.m. in the Winter Recreation Area—free and ideal for newbie nordic explorers gliding through fresh snow. Book lovers, swing by Black Garnet Books in Saint Paul for Authors for Minnesota Day from noon to 4 p.m., where local writers mingle and sign goodies in a cozy in-store vibe.

Tonight, culture seekers can catch The Nadas' intimate duo set at The Cedar Cultural Center, blending folk-Americana twang with raw alt-rock energy that fans rave about for its authentic Stones-era honk. Or rock out to Romeo &amp; Juliet: The Rock Ballet at 7:30 p.m. at The Fitzgerald Theater in Saint Paul, a high-energy twist on Shakespeare's classic with live music pulsing through the drama.

Tomorrow, Sunday March 1st, the Grand Casino Arena hosts Minnesota Wild versus St. Louis—puck drops with hometown roar, grab tickets fast. The Cedar brings Noise Party 13, an experimental music immersion with back-to-back underground acts and wild analog visuals that promise to blow your senses wide open. Families, check Mall of America's Lunar New Year celebrations wrapping up in Bloomington with dragon dances and festivities from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m., per Kids Out and About.

Looking ahead, the MSHSL Boys Hockey State Tournament hits the arena March 4th through 7th, crown jewel for ice warriors. And mark April 9th and 10th for Lady Gaga live—pure pop spectacle.

Whether you're wrestling with excitement, laughing at comedy, or jamming to global beats, Minneapolis-Saint Paul delivers. Get out there and make memories, listeners!

      <title>Anti-ICE Protests Defy Winter Chill in Minneapolis</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI9542733702</link>
      <description>Hey listeners, welcome to your go-to guide for what’s buzzing in Minneapolis-Saint Paul this chilly February week. Today, Thursday the 5th, dive into the heart of ongoing anti-ICE protests outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in downtown Minneapolis. Localnewsmatters.org reports protesters are defying the cold with daily gatherings, honking supporters, bullhorns blasting solidarity chants, and even overnight campers ready to welcome any midnight detainee releases. It’s a mix of joyful rage—think protesters in creative costumes waving RESIST flags while eyeing that surveillance drone overhead. Swing by for free coffee at the Renée Good memorial shrine on Portland Avenue in South Minneapolis, where flowers, teddy bears, and signs like “She was a Mother NOT a Target” honor her memory amid peaceful police presence.

Tomorrow, Friday the 6th, join a heartfelt prayer service for federal judges at 10 a.m. in the Plaza of Diana Murphy U.S. Courthouse, organized by Father Christopher Collins of St. Peter Claver as a grassroots response to immigration tensions, with Bishop Kevin Kenney leading—open to all for some community warmth.

The weekend amps up the romance for Valentine’s fever. On Friday the 13th, hit the free Old St. Anthony Valentine’s Night Market from 6 to 10 p.m. at Machine Shop in Minneapolis, browsing two floors of handmade local goodies—perfect gifts amid festive vibes, tickets required but gratis. Catch the Minnesota Orchestra at 8 p.m. in Orchestra Hall with Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet and Rachmaninoff’s Third Symphony, pure sweeping passion. Or escape to Love at Big Rock in St. Croix Falls, just 45 minutes away, for glowing light displays, fireside tents, wine-chocolate pairings, horse-drawn rides, live music, and Saturday fireworks.

Saturday and Sunday, Valentine’s dining explodes: Breva Bar &amp; Grill’s three-course sparkler toast and Chocolate Fantasia for two at $60 a head; Hell’s Kitchen’s Galaxy of Candles with duck specials and Heartini cocktails; Travail’s chaotic all-inclusive tasting menu in Robbinsdale. Stock up at the Valentine’s Day Market noon to 6 p.m. at Broken Clock Brewing, or snag romance reads at the Romance Book Fair at Inbound BrewCo.

Early next week, Institute of Hearts at Minneapolis Institute of Art from the 10th to 15th lets you pin paper hearts by your favorite art—for free, pure love magic. Looking ahead, Dave Chappelle hits Grand Casino Arena in Saint Paul on the 16th with special guest Clipse—tickets flying fast.

Bundle up, Twin Cities—protests pulse with purpose, romance lights up the frost. Thanks for tuning in, listeners—subscribe for more! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

      <title>Winter Carnival, Protests, and Community Celebrations Ignite Twin Cities Weekend</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI8725999249</link>
      <description>Hey listeners, grab your mittens and let's dive into the hottest happenings in Minneapolis-Saint Paul today through the weekend of January 31, 2026. As your friendly guide to Twin Cities fun, I'm buzzing about the Saint Paul Winter Carnival wrapping up its epic run from January 22 to February 1, with ice sculptures glowing in Rice Park, parades marching through downtown, and non-stop outdoor chills turned thrills.

Kick off today, Saturday, with the free Winter Carnival Family Day: Around the World in a Day at the Landmark Center, 75 West 5th Street in St. Paul, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. According to 365 Things To Do in the Twin Cities, this indoor bash packs global music, lively cultural dances, hands-on kid zones blending science and creativity, plus a vendor market and food festival—perfect for beating the cold while exploring traditions from everywhere. Think upbeat tunes to boogie to, wow-worthy science demos from the Science Museum, and bites for all ages. Families rave about the relaxed vibe, easy parking, and zero cost, making it a cozy centerpiece amid the carnival's ice park and Vulcan adventures nearby. The Star Tribune highlights the ongoing Food Festival in Rice Park too, sizzling all festival long.

Over in Minneapolis, brace for charged energy with ongoing anti-ICE protests sparked by Operation Metro Surge. The Jerusalem Post reports thousands marching downtown yesterday in sub-zero temps, demanding federal agents pull back after tragic shootings of locals Renee Good and Alex Pretti. WTIP notes solidarity actions like Arrowhead Indivisible's peaceful noon gathering outside Java Moose up north, but expect ripples here—stay informed and safe. Bruce Springsteen even rocked a fundraiser with his new "Streets of Minneapolis" tune.

Later tonight, warm up at the Midwinter Community Celebration from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., where Explore Minnesota says Ole and Lena debate winter grit over music, food, and drinks in a community hoot.

The rest of the weekend? Carnival peaks tomorrow with more parades and ice fun before it closes February 1. Lace up for the City of Lakes Loppet at Theodore Wirth Park if you're ski-ready, per Twin Cities Family. Whether you're family frolicking, protest-passionate, or culture-craving, Minneapolis-Saint Paul delivers that unbeatable winter spark.

      <title>Twin Cities Weekend Fun: Auto Show, Music, and More</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI1756538378</link>
      <description>Minneapolis–Saint Paul listeners, if you’re wondering what to do this week, let’s dive right in.

For car lovers, today is your last chance to catch the Twin Cities Auto Show at the Minneapolis Convention Center. The official Twin Cities Auto Show site notes the show runs through January 11, with doors open this Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can wander through brand‑new models, check out EVs, and dream a little bigger than your current winter beater.

If you’d rather be warm and surrounded by plants, Como Park Zoo and Conservatory’s Music Under Glass series in Saint Paul has a free concert late this afternoon. According to FamilyFunTwinCities, today’s Music Under Glass runs from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. inside the tropical conservatory, featuring Curt Obeda with Brian Z. Come early if you want to see the zoo, since the zoo itself closes at 4 p.m., but the conservatory stays open for the show.

Sports fans, there’s live action in downtown Saint Paul today. The Bloomington Convention and Visitors Bureau calendar highlights Minnesota Frost vs. Seattle at the Grand Casino Arena at 1 p.m. It’s a perfect excuse to head to Saint Paul for an afternoon game, then grab a bite nearby.

If you’re feeling creative, the Star Tribune’s events calendar lists a mosaic stained glass class today at Wandering Leaf Brewing Co. in Saint Paul. For 55 dollars, you can sip a local brew while learning to piece together your own stained glass design, a cozy indoor project for a cold day.

Looking ahead to midweek, Music Under Glass is back on Wednesday evening at Como with Jack Knife &amp; The Sharps performing, again from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., so you can break up the workweek with live music in the warmth of the conservatory.

And as you plan the coming weekend and beyond, keep an eye on the big winter traditions. FamilyFunTwinCities points out that Ice Castles at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds and the Art Shanty Projects on Lake Harriet are both opening later this month, turning the cold into an excuse to play outside in glowing ice tunnels and artist‑designed shanties.

      <title>Lights, music, and history abound in Minneapolis-Saint Paul this week</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI6174619361</link>
      <description>Minneapolis–Saint Paul is buzzing this week, so let’s dive right into what listeners can get out and do around the Twin Cities.

If you want something magical to kick off your week, head to the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis for Luminiscence. Minneapolis-Theater dot com describes it as an immersive light-and-sound experience that projects 360-degree visuals onto the Basilica’s stone walls, with live music and storytelling, running evenings through the end of January. It’s a perfect cozy-yet-spectacular winter night out downtown.

History lovers get a big win today with free admission at several Minnesota Historical Society sites. According to Mix 108, Mill City Museum in Minneapolis, the Minnesota History Center in Saint Paul, and Historic Fort Snelling are all waiving admission today from late morning into the afternoon. It’s a rare chance to explore riverfront milling history, interactive state history exhibits, or the old fort without paying a dime, and all are right in the metro.

Tonight, music fans have options. The Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis is hosting a stacked indie and Americana lineup with LOWJAM, Dakotah Faye, Emmy Woods, and Laura Hugo, with doors at 7 p.m. and the show at 8, according to the Star Tribune events calendar. Over in Saint Paul, Sound Minnesota reports that High Hat on Selby is bringing the Latin Soul Vibe band to the stage around 7 p.m., with a small cover or drink minimum and a laid-back neighborhood vibe.

If listeners want laughs instead, Camp Bar in downtown Saint Paul is home to Laugh Camp Comedy Club, which lists a 5 p.m. improv show on their calendar. Their After Dark format has been described as a mix of live theater and “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”, with fast-paced audience-driven scenes and a casual bar atmosphere.

Families aren’t left out this week. Family Fun Twin Cities highlights plenty of kid-friendly options around Minneapolis and Saint Paul, including Lil Explorer Thursday at Como Zoo in Saint Paul, which offers free hands-on activities for preschoolers in the visitor center, and the Minnesota Children’s Museum and Mill City Museum as great indoor picks when cabin fever kicks in.

Looking to Sunday, KidsOutAndAbout and Landmark Center’s calendar point to “Sundays at Landmark: Urban Expedition – Dakota Homeland” in downtown Saint Paul. Listeners can expect music, dance, crafts, and cultural activities focused on Dakota history and contemporary life, a great way to learn and celebrate Indigenous culture in a historic building.

That’s your snapshot of what to do in Minneapolis–Saint Paul this week: lights in a basilica, free history, live music, comedy, and plenty of family adventures waiting across the metro.

      <title>Weekend Highlights in Minneapolis-Saint Paul: From Stadium Tours to Ice Sculptures and Live Entertainment</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI5275570547</link>
      <description>Let’s talk about what listeners can do in Minneapolis–Saint Paul for the rest of this week.

If you’re downtown in Minneapolis today, the city’s own events calendar highlights public tours of U.S. Bank Stadium, running at 10 a.m., noon, 1 p.m., and 3 p.m. at 401 Chicago Avenue. According to Minneapolis.org, you’ll get inside access to the Vikings’ home turf, locker-room vibes, and those incredible skyline views from inside the glassy bowl.

For something artsy tonight, Minneapolis.org also notes an Ice Sculpture Opening Party at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Think twinkling courtyard, frozen works of art, and a festive crowd as Mia kicks off an outdoor ice experience that continues through the weekend. The same calendar points listeners to the Guthrie Theater, where the play “Somewhere” takes the stage at 7:30 p.m., perfect for anyone craving high-quality drama on the riverfront. And if live music is calling, 7th St Entry is hosting FINICK at 7:30 p.m. for an intimate, indie-leaning night out.

Over in St. Paul this evening, Family Fun Twin Cities highlights Lil Explorer Thursday at Como Zoo from 10 a.m. to noon, a free, hands-on program for preschoolers in the visitor center, plus regular zoo exploring later. They also feature Winter Park Discovery Days in New Brighton from 5 to 8 p.m., with a community bonfire, free hot cocoa and s’mores, and a snowshoe luminary trail, making it a cozy family-friendly option just outside the core cities.

Looking ahead to Friday, Minneapolis.org lists the Weisman Art Museum’s “Ebb/Flow” exhibition from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the University of Minnesota campus, ideal for a daylight art escape with Mississippi River views. Friday night turns lively with “The Jury Experience” at the Granada Theater, an immersive courtroom-style show with 6 and 8:30 p.m. performances, plus reggae at Icehouse, a Grateful Dead tribute at the Parkway Theater, and comedian John Mulaney’s “Mister Whatever” at The Armory.

The weekend brings full-on Twin Cities winter energy. Minneapolis.org notes the Minneapolis Winter Farmers Market on Saturday morning at 312 East Lyndale Avenue North from 9 a.m. to noon, where listeners can browse local produce, baked goods, and crafts in a cozy indoor setting. Minneapolis Institute of Art continues its ice sculpture experience all day Saturday in the outdoor courtyard, giving you a chance to wander among frozen artworks before warming up inside with the permanent collection.

Saturday night, First Avenue hosts local favorites Yam Haus at 8 p.m., according to the downtown events calendar, promising a big singalong moment in the Mainroom. Theater fans can head to Mixed Blood Theatre for Will Arbery’s “Plano,” running 7:30 to 9 p.m., a smart, offbeat play in a smaller, more intimate space.

On Sunday, Minneapolis.org highlights Roxy’s Cabaret Drag Brunch from noon to 2 p.m. at Nicollet Mall for listeners who love their eggs with a side of sequins. Sports fans can cross the river to St. Paul for PWHL M

Over in Eagan, Winter SKOLstice at Viking Lakes is in full swing at the Minnesota Vikings training facility. Family Fun Twin Cities reports that the winter festival offers free outdoor ice skating, ponds for hockey and curling rentals, an ice maze, a drive-through Magic of Lights display, plus a cozy Warming Haus with snacks, hot drinks, and live music. Magic of Lights itself runs nightly through early January and features everything from a Holiday Barbie scene to dinosaurs and a giant lit monster truck, making it a great midweek or weekend drive for listeners who want big lights but toasty car seats.

For something indoors and a little more theatrical, the Ordway in downtown St. Paul is hosting the touring production of Sister Act – The Musical. Ticketmaster lists performances at the Ordway Theatre this week, giving listeners a chance to trade snowbanks for showtunes and watch Deloris and the choir bring gospel, comedy, and glitter to the holiday break.

If listeners want a more contemplative, artful evening, Minneapolis Theater Guide highlights Luminiscence at the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis. The historic basilica is bathed in immersive 360-degree projections, music, and storytelling, turning the stone walls into a moving canvas of light and sound. It is running through late January, so this week is an ideal time to escape into something magical after the holiday rush.

Finally, if the weekend has listeners craving live music, JamBase’s Minneapolis–St. Paul listings show a slate of concerts around town, from local rock to NYE-leaning dance shows. It is worth checking which venue fits the mood, whether that’s an intimate club in Minneapolis or a larger room in St. Paul.

      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI7240456244</link>
      <description>Hey listeners, welcome to your friendly guide for what to do in Minneapolis-Saint Paul this week. It's the most wonderful time of the year, and today, Sunday December 21st, we've got holiday magic popping up everywhere in the Twin Cities. Bundle up and dive into the festive fun before the season wraps up.

Kick off your day at the St. Paul European Christmas Market at Union Depot, 214 4th Street East in St. Paul. Family Fun Twin Cities reports it's open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., wrapping up its final weekend run from November 28 through today. Picture this: an authentic open-air Christkindlmarkt straight out of Germany or Austria, with twinkling lights, handmade gifts, ornaments, and irresistible holiday treats like pretzels and glühwein. Santa's making a special appearance from noon to 5 p.m., perfect for photos and kiddo scavenger hunts—totally free to wander, so grab the family and soak in the cheer. Explore Minnesota confirms the hours, calling it a must for unique shopping and noshing.

Over in Minneapolis, the Christkindl Market is buzzing too, open until 7 p.m. today according to Explore Minnesota. It's another slice of European holiday heaven with eats, drinks, and artisan goodies—pair it with a stroll through downtown for that full winter wonderland vibe.

History buffs and holiday romantics, head to the James J. Hill House at 240 Summit Avenue in St. Paul for Holidays on the Hill. The Minnesota Historical Society notes tours today at slots like 1:45 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. and 2:15 p.m. to 3:15 p.m., though they're selling out fast—pre-buy tickets online. Step back to Christmas 1910 in this Gilded Age mansion, exploring upstairs opulence and downstairs staff stories with guided 60-minute tours and self-guided exhibits. It's a cozy, immersive blast from the past.

Solve a mystery tonight at the Saint Paul Murder Mystery event on 5th Street East, starting around evening per Eventbrite—grab tickets for interactive sleuthing with a holiday twist.

Missed yesterday? The O'Neill Brothers brought piano holiday magic to Edina Performing Arts Center with 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. shows, supporting their Foundation of Hope, as detailed by 365 Twin Cities. Catch echoes of that joy today.

Don't forget the Festival of Trees at Culinary on North through December 21st, per MSP Beyond the Nest, loaded with seasonal displays and shopping.

Listeners, make these your holiday highlights—check websites for last-minute updates as events can shift. Thanks for tuning in, and be sure to subscribe for more Twin Cities tips. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

      <title>Twin Cities Packed With Festive, Only-Here Experiences This Week</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI6852480687</link>
      <description>Twin Cities listeners, if you’re wondering what to do this week, Minneapolis–Saint Paul is absolutely packed with festive, only-here experiences.

Start in Lowertown, where Family Fun Twin Cities reports that Santa is hanging out at the Saint Paul Farmers Market on 5th Street East from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., ready for free drop‑in photos and some last‑minute wishes between your produce and pastry runs. Over in the same neighborhood, Eventbrite lists a Saint Paul Murder Mystery: Solve the Case experience on 5th Street East later in the day, turning downtown into your own whodunit as you follow clues and race other teams to crack the story.

If you love old houses and big holiday vibes, the Minnesota Historical Society invites you inside the James J. Hill House on Summit Avenue for Holidays on the Hill. You’ll walk through the Gilded Age mansion dressed for Christmas circa 1910, with a guided tour sharing stories of the Hill family and the staff, plus time to wander the holiday exhibits on your own. Tours start throughout the day, and prebooking is recommended.

Looking for something outdoors and magical after dark? In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre is partnering with community groups for a Winter Solstice gathering at Powderhorn Park. According to HOBT, from 6 to 9 p.m. you can join a lantern‑lit community walk beginning at the rec center, with giant puppets, handmade lanterns, and warm, family‑friendly celebration of the longest night of the year, all free and open to all ages.

For a European‑style fix, Minnesota Parent highlights the European Christmas Market at 240 East Kellogg Boulevard in Saint Paul, just outside Union Depot. Expect rows of wooden stalls, mulled wine, traditional ornaments, wooden toys, and old‑world holiday music, plus visits from Santa and even Krampus on select days. It’s an easy place to linger, snack, and pick up those last‑minute gifts.

On the Minneapolis side, Minneapolis Theater notes that Luminiscence is transforming the Basilica of Saint Mary into an immersive light and sound show. You’ll see 360‑degree projections wash over the stone walls, choreographed to live music and storytelling, turning the historic basilica into a glowing, transportive holiday experience running through the season.

And if you’re in the mood for big spectacle, Minnesota Women’s Press lists Cirque du Soleil’s “’Twas the Night Before…” on the University of Minnesota campus, a high‑flying holiday show built around the classic poem with acrobatics, lovable characters, and remixed seasonal songs that’s perfect for a family night out this week.

      <title>Twin Cities Abuzz with Festive Fun: From Winter Wonderlands to Holiday Light Displays</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI6429942172</link>
      <description>Minneapolis–Saint Paul listeners, if you’re wondering what to do this week, you’ve got plenty of ways to stay cozy and festive around the Twin Cities.

Tonight in Saint Paul, North Dale Recreation Center is hosting its annual North Dale Winter Wonderland from 6 to 8 p.m. at 1414 St. Albans Street North. According to Family Fun Twin Cities, the gym is transformed into a magical holiday space with free entertainment, games, activities, and even a spot to snap a family holiday photo. It’s free and open to all ages, so it’s a perfect low-key midweek outing.

If you’re in the mood for something a little more mysterious, Eventbrite lists a Saint Paul Murder Mystery: Solve the Case experience happening downtown on 5th Street East. You and your crew follow clues through the city like real detectives, piecing together a whodunit as you go. It’s a fun way to see Saint Paul’s historic streets while getting your true-crime fix.

For a cozy night of nostalgia, Vivid Seats notes that A Charlie Brown Christmas featuring the Blue Ox Trio is on stage at the Turf Club in Saint Paul at 7 p.m. Expect live takes on Vince Guaraldi’s classic tunes in an intimate venue on University Avenue, with only a handful of tickets left.

Looking toward the weekend, it’s all about lights and holiday magic across the metro. Festival Guides and Reviews reports that Magic of Lights at Viking Lakes in Minneapolis is running through this week, turning the area near Eagan’s Viking Lakes complex into a drive-through tunnel of animated holiday scenes and massive light displays. Over in Saint Paul, Glow Holiday Festival is lighting up the season with over a million lights, giant illuminated animals, and art installations, making it a great walk-through option for photos and hot cocoa.

The same guide also highlights Sever’s Holiday Light Show in Shakopee, a short drive from the metro, with synchronized lights set to music you tune in to from your car, plus fire pits and concessions if you want to linger. And if you’re up for a classic European vibe, the European Christmas Market in Saint Paul brings wooden vendor stalls, handmade gifts, mulled wine, and plenty of holiday treats through the weekend.

However you like to celebrate, the Twin Cities are glowing this week. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss what’s happening around Minneapolis–Saint Paul. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

      <title>Headline: Twin Cities Light Up with Holiday Magic: Markets, Music, and Cozy Vibes Abound</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI3574982032</link>
      <description>Minneapolis–Saint Paul, if listeners are looking to squeeze every bit of magic out of this week, you’re in luck. The cities are absolutely packed with light shows, markets, music, and cozy holiday vibes.

Start in downtown St. Paul at Union Depot, where the European Christmas Market transforms the depot plaza into a little slice of Germany. According to Union Depot’s own event listing, the market runs today from late morning into the evening, with wooden stalls, European-style street food, Glühwein for the adults, handmade gifts, and live entertainment. It is free to wander, so listeners can browse, snack, and people‑watch as long as they like.

While you are at Union Depot, check the schedule for Morning Yoga, which Union Depot notes happens on Saturdays. It is a relaxed way to start the day before diving into the crowds and treats of the market.

History lovers should head up Summit Avenue for Holidays on the Hill at the James J. Hill House. The Minnesota Historical Society describes this as a 1910 Christmas experience inside the Gilded Age mansion, with self‑guided access to the lavishly decorated rooms and a one‑hour guided tour that shares holiday stories from both the Hill family and their staff. Tours start roughly every half hour, and advance tickets are strongly encouraged, so this is a great anchor plan for a late morning or afternoon in St. Paul.

Back across the river, add some sparkle to the gift list at the Holiday Market at Malcolm Yards in Minneapolis. The Market at Malcolm Yards reports more than 25 local makers set up from late morning through the evening, selling everything from handmade decor and art to small‑batch foods and skincare. Between vendors, listeners can work their way through the food hall’s kitchens and bar, making this an easy all‑in‑one outing.

As the sun goes down, pivot to trains and twinkle lights. Family Fun Twin Cities highlights Night Trains at the Twin City Model Railroad Museum in St. Paul, where the overhead lights are dimmed and dozens of detailed layouts glow with tiny buildings, streetlights, and holiday scenes. On select Saturdays in December, Santa himself appears during the 3 to 7 p.m. window, making it a must for train‑obsessed kids and nostalgic grown‑ups.

If listeners want even more shopping and cheer later this weekend, Fairs and Festivals lists two big multi‑day events: the Minnesota Merry Market at the State Fairgrounds’ North End Event Center, featuring more than 90 local makers and artists, and the Field and Festival Holiday Market at Wagner’s Garden Center in Minneapolis, with around 60 booths of craftspeople and food producers. Both run Saturday and Sunday, so they’re perfect for an easygoing afternoon of browsing, tasting, and supporting local businesses.

Wrap any evening by simply driving or strolling through the many neighborhood light displays the Twin Cities are famous for, then warming up with something hot from a local coffee shop or brewery.

      <title>TWIN CITIES HOLIDAY CALENDAR PACKED WITH FESTIVE EVENTS</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI4281434661</link>
      <description>Let’s talk about what listeners can actually do around Minneapolis–Saint Paul for the rest of this week, because the Twin Cities holiday calendar is packed.

If you want to jump right into the sparkle tonight, the GLOW Holiday Festival at CHS Field in downtown St. Paul lights up the ballpark with massive light displays, interactive installations, and plenty of photo ops. The Star Tribune events calendar notes that GLOW is set up as a walk-through holiday show for all ages, hosted where the St. Paul Saints play, so expect food, fire pits, and lots of color-filled Instagram moments.

For listeners who love history with their holidays, the Minnesota Historical Society is running Holidays on the Hill tours at the James J. Hill House on Summit Avenue in St. Paul. According to the Minnesota Historical Society, these one-hour guided tours walk you through Christmas 1910 in a Gilded Age mansion, both upstairs and downstairs, with stories from the Hill family and staff and holiday décor in every corner. Tours start throughout the day, with the last one mid‑afternoon, and advance tickets are strongly encouraged.

If live performance is more your scene, Minneapolis Theater Guide listings show classic holiday productions running this week, including A Christmas Carol at the Guthrie Theater and Luminiscence, an immersive celebration of light and story at the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis. It’s a perfect option if listeners want a cozy night in the city without spending the whole time outdoors.

Classical music fans should head to the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul this evening for the free Rothchild Family Concert Series. Thrifty Minnesota highlights tonight’s program with pianist Osip Nikiforov and violist Daniel Orsen, offering an intimate chamber concert that’s completely free, making it a great pre‑dinner or post‑work stop.

Looking toward the weekend, train lovers have a big highlight: Family Fun Twin Cities and the Minnesota Transportation Museum point out that the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train rolls into Union Depot in St. Paul on Saturday night. Union Depot is planning concessions, activities, and a live concert from about 5:30 to 7 p.m., with the illuminated train arriving afterward, so bundle up and make an evening of it.

And if you’re just in the mood to wander, Family Fun Twin Cities and Kids Out and About both round up a cluster of ongoing holiday lights and events across the metro this weekend: Winter Lights at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska, Rice Park holiday lights in downtown St. Paul, and Sever’s Holiday Lights a short drive away if you want a full-on drive‑through light tunnel experience.

        <![CDATA[Let’s talk about what listeners can actually do around Minneapolis–Saint Paul for the rest of this week, because the Twin Cities holiday calendar is packed.

If you want to jump right into the sparkle tonight, the GLOW Holiday Festival at CHS Field in downtown St. Paul lights up the ballpark with massive light displays, interactive installations, and plenty of photo ops. The Star Tribune events calendar notes that GLOW is set up as a walk-through holiday show for all ages, hosted where the St. Paul Saints play, so expect food, fire pits, and lots of color-filled Instagram moments.

For listeners who love history with their holidays, the Minnesota Historical Society is running Holidays on the Hill tours at the James J. Hill House on Summit Avenue in St. Paul. According to the Minnesota Historical Society, these one-hour guided tours walk you through Christmas 1910 in a Gilded Age mansion, both upstairs and downstairs, with stories from the Hill family and staff and holiday décor in every corner. Tours start throughout the day, with the last one mid‑afternoon, and advance tickets are strongly encouraged.

If live performance is more your scene, Minneapolis Theater Guide listings show classic holiday productions running this week, including A Christmas Carol at the Guthrie Theater and Luminiscence, an immersive celebration of light and story at the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis. It’s a perfect option if listeners want a cozy night in the city without spending the whole time outdoors.

Classical music fans should head to the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul this evening for the free Rothchild Family Concert Series. Thrifty Minnesota highlights tonight’s program with pianist Osip Nikiforov and violist Daniel Orsen, offering an intimate chamber concert that’s completely free, making it a great pre‑dinner or post‑work stop.

      <title>Festive Fun Abounds in Minneapolis-Saint Paul This Week</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI6291967600</link>
      <description>If listeners are in Minneapolis–Saint Paul this week, you are in the sweet spot of holiday season – with plenty to do every single day and even more rolling into the weekend.

Tonight in Saint Paul, the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts is staging the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar, a big, arena-style production perfect for listeners who want a dramatic, high-energy night out downtown, according to the Star Tribune’s events calendar. Over at Landmark Center, also in Saint Paul, the Ramsey County Historical Society is hosting History Revealed with Mary Lucia from 6 to 8 p.m., a live talk that blends local history with the sharp wit of the longtime Twin Cities radio voice, as listed on the Landmark Center events page and highlighted by the Star Tribune. If listeners are in the mood for something more playful, Eventbrite is promoting a Saint Paul Murder Mystery: Solve the Case experience along 5th Street East tonight, where small teams roam the city center untangling clues in a story-driven whodunit.

Families looking for daytime fun today can lean into the Twin Cities Guide to Family Activities from Family Fun Twin Cities, which points to tot time open gyms and storytimes across Minneapolis and Saint Paul, including free rec center tot times in Saint Paul and library storytime at Eden Prairie Library late morning. These are great options if you’ve got little ones who need to burn energy indoors while the adults fuel up on coffee.

Tomorrow and Friday, that same Family Fun Twin Cities guide highlights more early childhood open gyms throughout the metro, plus special Thursday events like Little Explorers at Como Zoo in Saint Paul and baby and toddler storytime at Red Balloon Bookshop on Grand Avenue. For holiday sparkle any evening, listeners can head to CHS Field in Lowertown Saint Paul for the GLOW Holiday Festival, where, as Family Fun Twin Cities describes, the ballpark transforms into a walking tour of huge light displays, a 60-foot illuminated tree, selfie zones, a s’mores station, and Santa Land. If you prefer to stay in the car, Sever’s Holiday Lights in Shakopee offers a drive-through tunnel of 2.5 million synchronized lights, which Family Fun Twin Cities reports runs nightly through December 28.

Rolling into the weekend, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum’s Winter Lights in Chaska is an easy drive from the metro and has become a favorite date night or family night, with lighted pathways winding through the gardens, according to Family Fun Twin Cities. Their weekend guide also points to Rice Park Holiday Lights and the broader holiday atmosphere downtown Saint Paul, plus Magic of Lights in Eagan and Valley Lights in Lake Elmo if listeners are up for a quick hop just outside the core cities.

For a more low-key neighborhood vibe, the East Isles Residents Association lists ongoing Holidays on Hennepin events in Minneapolis, including Santa’s Ornament Workshop on December Tuesdays at Vital Print Press on Hennepin Avenue, where kids and a

      <title>Holiday Magic Abounds in Minneapolis-Saint Paul This Week</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI1672056705</link>
      <description>If you’re in Minneapolis–Saint Paul this week and wondering how to squeeze every last drop of holiday magic out of the cities, you’re in the right place.

Let’s start in Saint Paul, where Rice Park downtown has already been transformed into a twinkling winter wonderland with a 40-foot decorated tree and sparkling lights, according to Visit Saint Paul. The park stays lit all season, so listeners can bundle up, grab a cocoa from a nearby café, and take an evening stroll under the lights any night this week.

Just a short walk away, the European-inspired Christmas Market at Union Depot is in full swing on weekends through December, with handmade European crafts, local vendors, Glühwein, and European-style snacks, according to Union Depot and Visit Saint Paul. It’s a perfect stop for last-minute gifts and people-watching on the depot’s beautifully lit plaza. While you’re there, keep an eye on the historic train platforms, because this same spot will host the CPKC Holiday Train and a massive holiday bake sale later in the month, as Visit Saint Paul reports.

Art lovers should swing by Landmark Center in downtown Saint Paul, where the 47th Annual Holiday Bazaar runs through this weekend, featuring more than 70 regional artists and makers, live holiday music, and festive décor in one of the prettiest buildings in the city, according to Minnesota Monthly and the Star Tribune’s events listings.

Over on Summit Avenue, the Germanic-American Institute is hosting its Christmas in Germany weekend, with authentic German food, mulled wine, bratwurst, model trains, and a visit from St. Nikolaus, as detailed by the Germanic-American Institute and Family Fun Twin Cities. It’s a cozy, European-style holiday experience in one of Saint Paul’s grandest neighborhoods.

Families looking for lights and spectacle should head to CHS Field in Lowertown for the GLOW Holiday Festival, where more than a million lights, themed displays, and interactive scenes turn the ballpark into a walk-through holiday fantasy, according to Visit Saint Paul and the Mpls.St.Paul Magazine event calendar.

On the Minneapolis side, listeners can hop onto the Como–Harriet Streetcar Line for the Holly Trolley, where a historic trolley is decked out in lights and Santa rides along, followed by marshmallow roasting at the depot fire pit, as Family Fun Twin Cities describes. For something more urban, the Seward Frolic and Holiday Art Market brings art, music, and neighborhood charm to the historic Seward district with open studios and local vendors, according to Minnesota Monthly’s calendar.

If you’re craving performance and spectacle, Circus Juventas in Saint Paul is running its holiday show “Solstice,” a big-top production of acrobatics and storytelling designed for all ages, according to Visit Saint Paul and Family Fun Twin Cities. It’s a great evening option after a day of markets and lights.

Wherever you land in Minneapolis–Saint Paul this week, you’re never far from a market, a light display,

      <description>If you’re in Minneapolis–Saint Paul this week, you’re right in the middle of peak holiday magic, with cozy markets, twinkling lights, and plenty to keep your days and nights packed.

Start today with something active and festive. Twincitiesfamily dot com highlights the Candy Cane Course at Lake Elmo Park Reserve, a Christmas themed 5K and 12K that runs this morning, perfect if listeners want a brisk run followed by cocoa and holiday vibes. If you’d rather wander than run, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum’s Indoor Holiday Forest, featured by Minnesota Monthly and Twincitiesfamily, turns the Oswald Visitor Center into an evergreen wonderland with around 80 decorated trees, ideal for slow strolls and family photos.

Downtown Minneapolis is buzzing all week with classic traditions. The Dayton’s Holiday Market in the historic Dayton’s building runs daily midweek, according to Twincitiesfamily, filling the old department store floors with local makers, vintage style décor, and nostalgic window displays. Just a short walk away, the Minneapolis Christkindl Market at North Loop Green brings a European style outdoor market every evening, with mulled wine, handmade ornaments, and live music, as listed on Twincitiesfamily dot com.

Over in Saint Paul, Union Depot is a holiday hub. Union Depot’s own calendar notes the European Christmas Market running today and through the weekend, loaded with bratwurst, glühwein, artisan gifts, and live entertainment. Later tonight, Union Depot also hosts its Holiday Tree Lighting and Movie Night, where listeners can watch the giant tree come to life and then settle in for a family film under the historic depot roof.

If you love history with your holidays, the Minnesota Historical Society invites you into 1910 at the James J. Hill House on Summit Avenue. Their Holidays on the Hill tours run in time slots throughout the day, letting you explore a Gilded Age mansion dressed in period Christmas décor while guides share stories of the Hill family’s celebrations.

Midweek and into next weekend, trains and light displays keep the energy going. Minnesota Monthly highlights Santa’s Train Shop at the Minnesota Transportation Museum on weekends, where kids can ride the Christmas caboose, meet Santa on the North Pole Mail Train, and dive into crafts. For more lights, Sever’s Holiday Lights in Shakopee, listed on Twincitiesfamily dot com, offers a drive through display synchronized to music, a great capstone to any evening.

And for those who want a more mysterious adventure, Eventbrite is promoting Saint Paul’s Secret Society Mystery Hunt downtown, an outdoor puzzle experience that turns the city streets into a live escape game for friends and families.

      <title>Holiday Cheer Abounds in the Twin Cities</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI3450727895</link>
      <description>Minneapolis and Saint Paul are buzzing this week with holiday lights, cozy markets, and plenty of reasons to bundle up and get out of the house. If listeners are looking for festive energy, artsy outings, or just an excuse to sip something warm under twinkling lights, the Twin Cities have you covered.

Start by heading to Lowertown Saint Paul for the European-style Christmas market at Union Depot, where vendors set up open-air stalls with handmade gifts, ornaments, and plenty of seasonal treats. According to local event listings, the market runs evenings and through the weekend, so listeners can wander with mulled drinks, listen to live music, and watch the depot square glow under holiday lights. It is one of the most atmospheric spots in the cities right now, perfect for a date night or a family stroll.

Over in Minneapolis, the North Loop turns into its own winter wonderland with a Christkindl-style market at North Loop Green, bringing together food booths, music, and appearances by Santa and Mrs. Claus. Local guides note that performances and vendors rotate throughout the week, so each visit feels a little different, whether listeners go after work or on the weekend. The nearby warehouse district bars and restaurants lean into the festive vibe, making it easy to turn a quick visit into a full night out.

For something a bit more historic, listeners can step back in time on Summit Avenue with a holiday tour of the James J. Hill House, where “Holidays on the Hill” brings 1910 Christmas traditions to life. The Minnesota Historical Society highlights that these guided tours walk through the mansion’s lavishly decorated rooms while sharing stories of the Hill family and the staff who kept the place running at the height of the Gilded Age. It is a great pick for history buffs or anyone who loves grand old architecture dressed up for the season.

To cap off an evening, holiday pop-up bars around the lakes and in neighborhoods like Uptown and Northeast transform familiar spaces with over-the-top decorations, themed cocktails, and plenty of photo ops. Local nightlife roundups point listeners toward holiday-themed menus, from peppermint-inspired drinks to Scandinavian-style glögg, making these spots ideal for a friends’ night out after the markets or a show.

      <description>Minneapolis-Saint Paul is bursting with activity as the holiday season kicks into high gear this week, giving everyone plenty of chances to get out and experience some true Twin Cities magic. For listeners looking to jumpstart festive fun, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum’s Indoor Holiday Forest is open every day this week. Located inside the Oswald Visitor Center, this gorgeous walk-through features over 80 artistically decorated trees, all inspired by the natural beauty and resilience of Minnesota’s woodlands. There’s no better spot to snap a few family photos and enjoy a calm, wintry stroll, and this event runs daily, so anyone can fit it into their schedule according to Twin Cities Family.

If music is more your vibe, The Current’s Gig List is your ticket to a packed schedule of live shows around the metro. Monday night brings the Roe Family Singers, Kirk Whalum, and Devil Dodger. On Tuesday, folk favorite Charlie Parr takes the stage, and by Friday, local legends The Suburbs headline the Turf Club for a special show. Saturday features Gear Daddies and Jillian Rae.

Holiday shopping gets an artful twist at Minnetonka Center for the Arts’ annual Arts of the Holidays Show and Sale. Open all week, this showcase brings together thousands of locally made, hand-crafted gifts—perfect for finding unique treasures you won’t see at big box stores, as noted by Minnesota Monthly.

Over at Union Depot in St. Paul, the European Christmas Market launches Friday and runs through the weekend. Listeners can browse more than 70 booths selling everything from hand-carved German ornaments to Nordic sweets, enjoy live music and carolers, and catch a glimpse of the Minnesota Krampus along the way, as reported by St. Paul Voice.

Families won’t want to miss the classic photo op with Santa at Maplewood Mall. Santa Pictures are available every day through December 24, with flexible times during the week and weekends to fit any busy schedule according to Family Fun Twin Cities.

Capping off the week with laughter and stories, Parkway Theater in South Minneapolis hosts The Moth StorySLAM on Monday night, where everyday folks take the stage to share heartfelt and funny tales centered around this month’s theme: manners, as shown on their official calendar.

Minneapolis parks are rolling out the orange carpet, including the Harrison Park Halloween Boo Bash with carnival games and pumpkin dodgeball, Pershing Park’s bonfire and treats, and Matthews Park’s parade and party starting at 5 pm.

Saint Paul isn’t lagging behind, with the MLK Rec Center bash offering food, games, and fun at 271 Mackubin Street from 5 to 6:30 pm. And tomorrow, Midtown Global Market cranks up the excitement with trick-or-treating, a costume parade, and local treats from 4 to 8 pm.

      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI8227053487</link>
      <description>Minneapolis-Saint Paul is bursting with autumn energy this week, inviting listeners to step into a festival of colors, creativity, and fun. Today kicks off with the iconic Schmidt Fall Art Crawl at the historic Schmidt Artist Lofts, where more than 80 local artists open their studios to the public for a weekend of painting, pottery, jewelry, and live art demonstrations, all with a rooftop view of the Saint Paul skyline. Art lovers can also explore the St. Paul Art Crawl, running today at Union Depot and Tilsner Lofts, featuring unique masterpieces from over two dozen local artists, pop-up markets, interactive workshops, and vibrant live performances, perfect for finding that one-of-a-kind fall treasure. For a lively community experience, head to the Springboard for the Arts Fall Fest—this creative party includes artist-led workshops, a pop-up kitten adoption with Pet Haven, face painting, DJ sets, and hands-on art activities, part of the citywide celebration of the St. Paul Art Crawl.

Families can make memories at the Fall is Fun Festival at CHS Field, running daily from noon to 4 pm all month.

Tickets are five dollars for kids and ten for adults during the day, with evening haunted tours beginning at twenty-two dollars.

Autumn’s glow is on full display across the metro, with the Highland Water Tower in Saint Paul open to the public for panoramic views of peak foliage. The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum brings six miles of trails bursting with color, while Caponi Art Park in Eagan blends artistic installations with scenic wooded strolls. Those craving adventure can book a Mississippi River paddleboat tour with Padelford Riverboats or venture to Taylors Falls for kayaking and vivid fall vistas.

Today at the Foci Minnesota Center for Glass Arts, the Glass Pumpkin Patch returns, showcasing hundreds of handblown pumpkins, free glassblowing demonstrations, and autumn-themed activities. Over at Pinehaven Farm, The Great Pumpkin Trail dazzles with 10,000 intricately carved jack-o’-lanterns lighting up a magical half-mile path.

      <title>North St. Paul's Fall Round Up Parade Brings Community Cheer</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI4102502831</link>
      <description>Thursday night brings parade excitement to North Saint Paul, as the annual Fall Round Up Parade rolls down 7th Avenue from six to nine pm. This cherished tradition brings the community together to cheer for colorful floats, marching bands, and local groups. Arrive early to grab your spot and maybe swing by a downtown business before the parade kicks off. It’s one of the best ways to enjoy local spirit and welcome autumn, and according to the City of North St. Paul, it’s a don’t-miss event.

For families with little ones, Red Balloon Bookshop in St. Paul hosts lively storytimes Thursday morning with songs, dances, and stories perfect for infants and toddlers. That evening, stargazers have two options for free cosmic fun: the Como Planetarium Statewide Star Party in Saint Paul and the Bell Museum’s Star Party at their historic site. Astronomy groups will be set up around town, so pick your favorite spot for telescope views and guided stargazing.

Friday morning offers open gym events for tots from Maple Grove and Apple Valley to Eagan, along with storytimes and chalk art at Fresh Acres Farm in Monticello. By evening, fireworks light up Hazelwood Park in Maplewood for the September Friday Light it Up event, while Lowry Nature Center in Victoria and Wolfe Park in St Louis Park welcome families for outdoor movie nights.

      <title>Minnesotans Remember 9/11 with Volunteer Events, Sports, and Cultural Celebrations Across Twin Cities</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI7755135116</link>
      <description>Listeners, if you’re looking for things to do in Minneapolis-Saint Paul today, this weekend, and beyond, you’ve picked the right week. Today, September 11, marks the poignant anniversary of 9/11, and several community-focused events are happening. The Twin Cities Meal Pack for 9/11 Day is in full swing at St. Paul River Centre, where volunteers are working together to pack 175,000 meals for local food shelves. If you want to get involved, they still need support staff, table captains, heavy lifters, and guest services helpers. This massive operation benefits Second Harvest Heartland and is a chance to make a huge impact right here in the city.

With flags flying at half-staff all day in honor of 9/11, the city is also remembering the lives lost through ceremonies and volunteer opportunities. Governor Tim Walz has issued a statewide order for flags at half-staff across Minnesota through Sunday. For an evening filled with community and sports energy, the Minnesota Lynx wrap up their regular season tonight at Target Center on fan appreciation night. Every attendee will get a Lynx poster and a pink wig, and the team plays the Golden State Valkyries at 7 PM.

If you want to get out and taste the city on Thursday, Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis will transform into America’s longest dinner table, celebrating local food and beverage folks. Art lovers can join the three-day MinnAnimate festival, showcasing Midwest animation, or stop by the Minneapolis Institute of Art for their evening social and creative activities designed for adults.

Heading into the weekend, Saint Paul hosts Oktoberfest at 301 Summit Avenue—two days packed with music, authentic German food, and festive culture. The Minnesota Card Show is open all weekend at Saint Paul’s RiverCentre, catering to collectors with rare cards and memorabilia.

For families and outdoor enthusiasts, there’s a Fall Family Fishing Night at Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis on Saturday, with bait, gear, and pro angler advice provided for free. Over in Falcon Heights, young train fans will enjoy the Twin City Model Railroad Museum Hobby Show, with model trains and real train tales from Engineer Paul.

Artisans and foodies aren't left out. The Twin Cities Maker Fest brings local artists and makers together for a vibrant street fair in Minneapolis, packed with demos, food trucks, and an array of handmade works. Over at the Black Market on Second Saturday, local Black businesses showcase culture, unique shopping, and hands-on games for all ages.

Saint Paul is alive with walking history and food tours, and music lovers can catch Lowertown Sounds concert series on Friday at Mears Park. And for little bookworms, the Minnesota Children’s Book Festival brings beloved authors and activities outdoors this weekend.

Whether you’re looking for a meaningful volunteer event, family adventure, evening out with friends, or a new experience in the arts and culture scene, Minneapolis-Saint Paul has something waiting for you

      <description>Pedro Park in downtown St. Paul is making its big debut tonight from 4 to 6 PM with a lively ribbon-cutting, music, and refreshments. If you want to kickstart the weekend early, this grand opening will set the tone. Meanwhile, Wednesday evenings on Harriet Island through September 10 feature Melodies and Market on the Mississippi, with free live music, local vendors and all your favorite food trucks. Fans of skating can head to Rice Park for free roller disco sessions every Friday night in September, featuring music from DJ Presto and complimentary skate rentals.

On Sunday at 9 AM, Zumba returns to Harriet Island Regional Park as part of Fitness in the Parks. Over in Lowertown, visit the Lowertown Farmers Market on Saturdays, from 7 AM to 1 PM, for local produce and crafts, or pick up a bite from one of the regular food trucks parked at Rice Park on Wednesdays and Kellogg Mall Park on Thursdays between 10 AM and 2 PM.

Families, do not miss Cafesjian’s Carousel’s 110th birthday bash on Sunday from 11 AM to 4 PM in St. Paul—rides are only two dollars and volunteers will be in full period costume.

      <title>Labor Day Weekend Buzzes with Festivals, Fairs, and Outdoor Fun in Twin Cities</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI5002536530</link>
      <description>Minneapolis and Saint Paul are absolutely buzzing this week with events that promise something memorable for everyone. Kicking off your Labor Day weekend, the Minnesota Renaissance Festival in Shakopee is in full swing now through Sunday. Step back in time to a lively 16th-century village where you can experience live jousting, comedic performances, and artisan markets sprawling over 16 stages and packed with over 250 craftspeople. For fans of furry friends, Woofstock is taking place on the festival grounds as well, with dog-friendly contests, races, treats, and an all-around celebration for your four-legged companions, a perfect way to blend medieval revelry with a pooch party according to Minnesota Monthly.

If a more tranquil scene is your speed, Saturday evening brings the Minneapolis Water Lantern Festival to Maple Grove’s Town Green Park. From 5:30 to 9:30 PM, you’ll be able to decorate and launch your own glowing lantern on the water. The festival offers live music and food trucks, creating a truly magical end-of-summer evening that’s sure to be a hit with families or anyone seeking a peaceful lakeside moment. Water Lantern Festival organizers present it as “a night you’ll remember forever,” and it’s easy to see why.

Not to be forgotten, it’s also your last chance to catch the renowned Minnesota State Fair, running through Monday in Saint Paul. Known as the “Great Minnesota Get-Together,” you’ll find everything from iconic deep-fried food and free concerts to giant slides, livestock shows, and the ever-popular butter sculptures. The Family Fun Twin Cities Guide recommends getting your fill now because the fair won’t be back until next summer.

For those seeking smaller-scale joy, Lake Harriet Bandshell in Minneapolis is showcasing The Jolly Pops on Sunday at 2 PM. This is an ideal outing for families with little ones who love a good outdoor concert vibe. Over in Saint Paul, Como Park Zoo wraps up its Music Monday series on Labor Day with family-friendly performances from the Jack Brass Band. According to the guide, kids can even join in the parade as the band winds through the zoo.

Nature lovers, don’t miss the Wagon Ride and Learn at Historic Forestville on Saturday. Hop on a scenic carriage tour through restored prairies, and discover prairie wildlife and flowers in their late-summer bloom.

With all these choices—medieval fairs, lantern festivals, state fair spectacles, free music, and gorgeous late-summer blooms—there’s no better time to get out and explore Minneapolis-Saint Paul. Thank you for tuning in, and make sure to subscribe so you never miss out on the best this region has to offer. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI6222952861</link>
      <description>Minneapolis-Saint Paul is bursting with energy this week as summer hits its stride, bringing with it a packed schedule of can’t-miss events for all listeners.

First, the Minneapolis Aquatennial kicks off this Thursday, running through Sunday across the city. Expect the city’s grandest summer celebration, with signature events like the nighttime Torchlight Parade, water ski stunts from the Minneapolis River Rats along the Mississippi, Carifest celebrating Caribbean culture, and AquaJam skateboard action. Cap it all off with Saturday night’s Minneapolis Aquatennial Fireworks, one of the largest annual displays on the Midwest riverfront, all free to attend.

For art lovers, the Minnehaha Falls Art Fair returns Friday through Sunday at beautiful Minnehaha Falls Park. This favorite features over 150 arts and crafts booths with everything from pottery to posters, live music, local food trucks, and a festive, family-friendly atmosphere. With the park’s stunning waterfalls as a backdrop, it’s the perfect spot to wander, shop, and relax.

Music fans, your weekend belongs at Harriet Island Regional Park where the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival sets down for three days, Friday through Sunday. This year’s lineup brings big acts: Friday spotlights Hozier, Train, and Sheryl Crow; Saturday turns up with Fall Out Boy, Weezer, and Motion City Soundtrack; Sunday closes with Green Day, Garbage, 311, and more. Single day tickets start at $150, and this festival is fast becoming a Twin Cities summer staple.

Families should catch the Highland Park Water Tower Open House in Saint Paul, one of only two weekends a year this city landmark opens to the public. It’s free, runs Saturday and Sunday 9am to 5pm, and offers panoramic city views plus interesting local history.

On the lakes, Thomas Beach on Bde Maka Ska hosts the annual Beach Blast with Milk Carton Races and a sandcastle competition on Saturday. Whether you want to participate or spectate, it’s a playful, quintessentially Minnesota way to spend a summer day.

Over in Minneapolis, Lyndale Park Gardens transforms Friday evening for the Dances at the Lake Festival, a celebration of local dance with performances by professional artists and youth groups, all free under the summer sky.

If you’re seeking something whimsical, check out the Llamas at the Brewery event Sunday at Forgotten Star Brewing in Fridley, with furry friends, music, and family fun.

For those who love baseball and a bit of spectacle, head to CHS Field in Saint Paul where the St. Paul Saints continue their summer schedule with promotions and postgame fireworks every Friday night.

Special exhibits are also vibrant right now, like the Alebrijes: Building the Dream World on display at the Anderson Center, letting visitors dive into the imaginative world of Mexican folk art. Tech meets tradition with the Dakota Sacred Hoop Walk at the Arboretum, combining augmented reality art and local Indigenous history.

      <description>If you are in Minneapolis-Saint Paul this week, gear up for a long weekend packed with music, fireworks, art, and family festivals happening across the Twin Cities. Minneapolis kicks into the holiday spirit tonight with a special faculty concert from the St. Joseph’s School of Music and Saint Paul Conservatory of Music.

If you’re looking for music under the stars, Steven C and Friends host a special Fourth of July concert on the steps of the Cathedral at 239 Selby Ave. You can also check out Groovin’ In The Garden at Como Park, or see the Alex Meffert Quartet at 385 Broadway for jazz lovers. The Saint Paul Farmers Market on 7th Place Mall is open all weekend with local produce and handmade goods.

On Saturday and Sunday, families won’t want to miss the Taste of Minnesota on Nicollet Mall and Washington Avenue in downtown Minneapolis.

      <title>Craft Fest, Night Market, and Historic Homes: Minneapolis-Saint Paul Buzzes with Summer Events</title>
      <link>https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI9935082509</link>
      <description>Minneapolis-Saint Paul is buzzing with summer energy, and this weekend is packed with events for everyone. Let’s jump right in.

Today and tomorrow at Union Depot in St. Paul, the American Craft Fest takes center stage. This free, all-ages event features work from more than 50 emerging artists, hands-on craft activities, great local food trucks, and a preview party with a complimentary drink if you want to kick things off early. If you’re heading downtown don’t forget that there’s construction around St. Paul, so the light rail might be your best bet getting there. The festival runs Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and wraps up Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. More details can be found on the American Craft Council website.

For listeners in the mood to celebrate cultural diversity, check out the Little Mekong Night Market, also happening both Saturday and Sunday in St. Paul. This vibrant street market is famous for its dazzling lanterns, live performances, and a mouthwatering range of Southeast Asian street food. It’s a must for foodies and night-owls alike, and the crowds are always energetic. According to Visit Saint Paul, the Hmong International Freedom Festival is also this weekend, offering sports, music, and dozens of food vendors at Como Park. It’s a perfect chance to celebrate Hmong culture and community.

Art lovers looking for more should try the Summit Avenue Walking Tour. History buffs and architecture fans can take a 90-minute guided walk through St. Paul’s legendary mansion district, kicking off at the James J. Hill House. Tours start at 10 a.m., and you’ll cover about a mile and a half of stunning historic homes. Plus, history comes alive with Free Train Day at the Hill House as well. This event covers everything from model train tables and kids’ crafts to Victorian lawn games, food trucks, and live music. Admission is completely free, so bring the family for a full day of fun.

Families with younger kids can swing by Rosedale Center for Store Front Studio KIDS, featuring music, dance, and interactive games led by the Twin Cities Road Crew. Minneapolis and St. Paul are also surrounded by local community festivals this weekend, including the Afton Strawberry Festival, Apple Valley Freedom Days, Blaine Festival, and more. According to Family Fun Twin Cities, these are great for parades, fireworks, carnival rides, and plenty of local eats.

Baseball fans can catch the St. Paul Saints at CHS Field, with home games running all week long. With themed promotions, family activities, and the chance to see fireworks, there’s a reason these games are a local favorite. Visit Saint Paul highlights the fun atmosphere where you can enjoy a real slice of Minnesota summer.

As July approaches, keep an eye out for city-hosted Fourth of July celebrations all across the metro. There are parades, concerts, and fireworks displays gearing up for next week.

      <description>Apologies for the inconvenience, but I can't provide real-time internet search results or current details as of February 2025. However, I can certainly suggest some fun things to do in Minneapolis-Saint Paul based on recurring events and attractions that would typically be happening around this time of year. 

Minneapolis-Saint Paul in late February is a winter wonderland filled with exciting events and activities to embrace the cold or find warmth indoors. Here are some awesome ways to spend your week and weekend:

1. **U.S. Pond Hockey Championships**: Although typically held earlier in the season, if you're lucky, this event stretches into late February.

2. **Twin Cities Snowshoe Shuffle**: Engage in Minnesota’s winter spirit by participating in a snowshoeing event. Check out local parks like Fort Snelling or regional events to find family-friendly races where you can enjoy the brisk winter air and beautiful snowy landscapes. 

3. **Science Museum of Minnesota**: The Science Museum is always a great spot to warm up and indulge in some fascinating exhibitions. Don't miss the Omnitheater, where you can enjoy larger-than-life educational films.

4. **Winter Carnival and Art Shanty Projects**: Depending on scheduling, the Saint Paul Winter Carnival and the Art Shanty Projects could be part of your February highlights. At the Winter Carnival, take the opportunity to see incredible ice sculptures and partake in parades and other fun activities. Over at the Art Shanty Projects, experience innovative and whimsical ice-side art installations and performances on lakes in the area.

5. **Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA)**: MIA often features remarkable exhibits this time of year. It’s the perfect indoor escape, offering everything from local artist spotlights to world-renowned collections. Don’t miss their themed gallery days that offer a deeper dive into specific art styles and histories.

6. **Guthrie Theater**: If you’re in the mood for some cultural enrichment, check the Guthrie Theater’s schedule for an engaging play or musical. The Guthrie is a treasure trove of theatrical talent and is always hosting thought-provoking and entertaining performances.

7. **Local Brewery Tours**: Minneapolis-Saint Paul boasts a thriving local beer scene. Spend a chilled-out afternoon touring breweries like Surly Brewing Co. or Summit Brewing Company. Take a tasting tour and perhaps find a new favorite brew to warm you up.
