Minneapolis Events 2026–27

Minneapolis has a smaller list right now, mostly with cultural events. The Festival de las Calaveras is on Halloween, and CLUES hosts Día de los Muertos at Midtown Global Market the next day. The Gift & Art Expo is the first weekend of November.

The city’s Nordic side shows up at the holidays: the Gingerbread Wonderland at Norway House opens on November 21, and the Julmarknad handcraft market runs December 4 to 6. The Turkey Day 5K is Thanksgiving morning.

Dates can change, so check the event’s website before you go.
