About Minneapolis
Minneapolis is a culturally rich city with passionate sports fans and a thriving performing arts scene that punches well above its weight. U.S. Bank Stadium is a striking glass-enclosed venue that hosts the Vikings and has welcomed the Super Bowl, the Final Four, and the X Games along with major concert tours. Target Field is home to the Twins in a beautiful open-air ballpark in the North Loop neighborhood. Target Center hosts the Timberwolves and Lynx along with touring concerts and events year-round. The Minneapolis music legacy is extraordinary, shaped by Prince, whose home and studio Paisley Park in nearby Chanhassen is now a museum and concert venue. First Avenue, the club made famous in Purple Rain, remains one of the most important independent music venues in the country. The Orpheum Theatre and State Theatre on Hennepin Avenue present Broadway touring shows and special events in gorgeously restored historic theaters. The Guthrie Theater on the Mississippi riverfront is one of the premier regional theaters in America. Orchestra Hall is home to the Minnesota Orchestra. For outdoor events, Surly Brewing Festival Field and the Minnesota State Fair, which runs for twelve days ending Labor Day, are major draws. The State Fair attracts nearly 2 million visitors annually, making it one of the largest in the nation. Winter is cold but the indoor venue calendar stays packed, and the summer festival season from June through September is magical with long daylight hours.
