While the the Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul is packed with delegates (and media!), the Minneapolis Convention Center will be playing host to Civic Fest.

Produced by the MSP Host Committee, CivicFest is a vibrant non-partisan civic festival celebrating Minnesota and American history, democracy, and the U.S. Presidency.

Many of the 30 plus exhibits have been featured attractions at the Smithsonian Institution and other renowned institutions.  CivicFest will transform the Minneapolis Convention Center, from August 29 through September 4, into a uniquely entertaining and enlightening celebration of American history and civic engagement.
