I always love this time of year and it always seems to get here faster every year. As we kick off the Holidays next week with Thanksgiving, we get to spend precious time with friends and family. Now more than ever we need to get out experience some the Holiday Traditions that we have put aside the past couple of years. Here are some Holiday Season events/attractions that my family and others have enjoyed.

European market– This a huge one for the Newman’s. Located in St. Paul above the Amtrak station it’s a great outdoor venue that free and great for all ages.

The St Paul Hotel

– Afternoon Tea– This one books fast and is very popular. Served in the English style afternoon tea but has background of holiday music and themes.

– It’s a Wonderful Life- They put this production on in the Ballroom and is always great show.

It such a great time of year for gathering, reconnecting and tending to our traditions with our families and friends. In an uncertain world it seems now more than ever it’s important spread the joy and spend time with loved ones and give thanks.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!!

We had a group tour Ace in the City’s Center of Belonging last week. It was amazing to see the safe space they have created in Minneapolis and all of the great work they are doing with the community. Stay tuned for more updates on ways we are partnering with Ace in the City!
