The Minneapolis-St. Paul area is home to some 60 museums and 75 theaters. In the United States, only Chicago and Washington, D.C. boast more museums than the Twin Cities and Minneapolis-St.Paul can claim to have more theater seats per capita than any other city aside from New York.
It seems fitting, therefore, for such an artistic city to kick off the celebrations surrounding the Republican National Convention with a 24-Hour Arts Celebration. Before the politicians take center stage on Labor Day, the artistic community of the Twin Cities will deliver 24 hours of non-stop free artistic performances and entertainment through downtown Minneapolis. Spark24 will start at 8 pm on Saturday, August 30th and ending at 8 pm on Sunday, August 31st and will be free for all visitors and local residents.
