    Minneapolis-St. Paul: Twin Cities Excellence

    Minneapolis-St. Paul creates one of the Midwest's most sophisticated urban entertainment markets—First Avenue's legendary music venue, downtown Minneapolis nightlife, St. Paul's historic character, and Minnesota's strong arts funding generate professional entertainment opportunities.
