Twin Cities Super Bowl Events for Families
It’s almost here! The Super Bowl is happening in Minneapolis very soon!
There are SO many things happening in the Twin Cities area – both in the heart of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and throughout the entire metro area and beyond.
The official Super Bowl LIVE events in Minneapolis start January 26th but if you don’t want to head into all the busyness, there is plenty to do away from all the action.
Here’s a list I’ve compiled of events throughout the metro area starting January 26th and after:

Super Bowl LIVE Presented by Verizon – January 26th – February 4th
Super Bowl LIVE presented by Verizon is the ultimate celebration of the Super Bowl.
It will open daily starting on Friday, January 26 at 4:00pm through gameday on Sunday, February 4. The event is FREE and open to the public and has something for everyone! There will be food, fun, and more.
The intention of the festival is to get visitors to spend time outdoors and enjoy the quintessential Minnesota experience (so bundle up!).
Plus there are 10 days of FREE concerts! The kids will want to be there the first night when the Verizon Up Stage at Ice Mountain will formally open with Tony Award winning icon Idina Menzel performing the song “Let It Go,” from the Disney movie Frozen.
NEW event details were just released on January 19th on the website.
