Nine Nights of Music

Thank you for attending this year's Nine Nights of Music series - see you next summer!

See a slideshow of photos from our Aug. 30 show with Beatles tribute band, Revolution 5. Photos by Ed Neaton for City Pages.

The popular series, now in its 15th year, presents the rich and vibrant rhythms and sounds of Minnesota's multi-cultural community at free outdoor performances at the Minnesota History Center.

Listen to infectious music and get out your dancing shoes for saucy salsa, soulful Motown, and classic big band swing! Co-sponsor Tapestry Folkdance Center provides instructors to lead the way.

Bring a chair or blanket and a picnic, or purchase food from the History Center's Cafe Minnesota. Admission to museum exhibits is free on Tuesdays from 5-8 p.m. In case of rain, performances will be held inside the History Center's 3M Auditorium.
