September 11 – September 13, 2026 · 27 events
This weekend in Saint Paul, Minnesota brings 27 live events across the city — from community to music to food & drink. 3 events are explicitly listed as free. Here's what's on.
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.
27 events are listed for Sunday, including 11th Annual Buddhists of African Descent Retreat at Carondelet Event Center (12:00 PM), Saint Paul Classic Bike Tour 2026 at Como Lakeside Pavilion (7:30 AM), St. Paul Farmers Market — Sunday at St. Paul Farmers Market, Spanish Conversation at Hot Hands Pie & Biscuit (10:00 AM). Events that start earlier in the weekend may still be running Sunday; open an event for its current schedule.
