What to do in Minneapolis-Saint Paul
About
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&B: Her Night, spotlighting powerhouse women in R&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.
