W
hen you think of Minneapolis, a few things probably
come to mind. Maybe you picture snowy winters, friendly
people, and Prince. Minnea-polis is all that, but most
importantly, we're a city that welcomes the world and celebrates our
ever-growing diversity. We're truly a city that offers visitors a chance to
explore a world of cultures and experiences right in one place.
From the Grammy-award-winning Sounds of Blackness to the
renowned Penumbra Theatre Company, African American pioneers
and artists have helped make Minneapolis what it is today. We're a
booming city that celebrates the best in art, cuisine and entertainment
from across cultures and around the globe.
If you haven't considered Minneapolis before, now's the time to
take a second look. The Minneapolis
Convention Center, our top-notch attrac-
tions, and our thriving hospitality commu-
nity are ready to welcome your group to
town. Check us out at Minneapolis.org.
