Holiday Central

It's that time of year again! As the end of the year—and the decade—comes to a close, there is no shortage of events to put you in the holiday spirit.

Head over to Union Depot in Lowertown Saint Paul where you can enjoy many festive activities throughout the holiday season, including illuminating the holiday tree and then the screen with favorite holiday flicks (Dec 6); visiting Santa's North Pole Express steam engine and vintage train cars (Dec 6-8, 12-15) and the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train (Dec 10); checking off your holiday shopping at the European Christmas Market (Dec 6-8, 13-15, 20-22); and stocking up on your favorite cookies at the Holiday Bake Sale (Dec 14).

Getting to Union Depot is all the easier thanks to MetroTransit which is offering free ride passes to and from Union Depot on Saturdays and Sundays in December.  And, on Saturday, Dec 21, Metro Transit and BNSF are teaming up for a free holiday tradition on the Northstar, starting at Big Lake station all the way to Union Depot for the festivities.

For a new holiday tradition, check out Sidekick Theatre's new musical adaptation of the beloved fairytale, Cinderella, at The Ives Auditorium in Bloomington, MN. Intended for youngsters of all ages, it's the perfect story for the holiday season.

And, if you're looking to escape the hectic holidays, head over to Park Square Theatre where you'll be transported to Regency England the reimagined classic Pride and Prejudice. Playing through Dec 22, this new take on Jane Austen is bold and timely, with a few dance breaks thrown in.

Fall in Saint Paul

This fall, join us in Saint Paul (and Minneapolis) for a fantastic lineup of events:

Saint Paul's Union Depot is a hub of activity with free yoga three days a week, games, public tours, and special events. During the Fall Saint Paul Art Crawl on October 11 - 13, Union Depot will host 25 local artists displaying work ranging from pottery, paintings, jewelry, sculptures, mixed media and more. Then, beginning on October 17, the St. Paul Farmer's Market moves indoors at Union Depot and continue every Thursday from 10:00 am to 1:30 pm through the season.

Over at Park Square Theatre, the 2019-2020 season has kicked off with a contemporary drama and cult classic. Julia Cho's poignant new play, Aubergine, tells the lyrical story of an intergenerational Korean family struggling to relate across emotional, linguistic and cultural divides. Aubergine continues through October 20 on the Boss Thrust Stage. Then, for one weekend only, Paige Hernandez brings her one-woman told through the lens of hip-hop to Park Square's Boss Thrust Stage. Blending poetry, dance, music and visual arts, Paige in Full: A B-Girl's Visual Mixtape plays October 25 - 27. Over on the Proscenium Stage, The Rocky Horror Show has audiences time-warping in the aisles with Brad, Janet, and Dr. Frank ’N’ Furter. Mixing rock ‘n’ roll with crazy dance numbers, sex, glitter and corsets, this epic party plays through November 2 (with special late night performances on and around Halloween).

On Saturday, October 20, the Twin Cities Jazz Festival hosts its annual Fall Jazz Festival at Crooners Supper Club. The Festival begins with a classic jazz film presented by Bob Deflores, followed by performances on two stages, including headliners Anne Hampton Callaway and Kenny Werner.
