St. Paul brings a complementary energy to the Twin Cities' live events scene, with a more intimate, neighborhood-driven vibe. The Palace Theatre is a gorgeous 2,500-seat downtown venue that draws top touring acts. Turf Club, a former 1940s supper club, is a beloved roots-rock and alternative venue with vintage neon and sticky floors. Amsterdam Bar and Hall books an eclectic mix. The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts hosts the Minnesota Orchestra, chamber music, and Broadway tours in a refined downtown setting. The Minnesota State Fair each August is one of the largest in the country, with major concert headliners at the Grandstand. Summit Avenue and Grand Avenue corridors keep live music in neighborhood bars year-round.
