The Minnesota Feis welcomes you to the 12th Annual Irish Dance, Music and Arts Competition in St. Paul, Minnesota on Saturday, September 22nd, 2012. Watch for registration to open on Feisworx in early June.
Once again, we’re excited to be hosting this year's event at The RiverCentre in St. Paul. Come visit the land of 10000 lakes and the beautiful cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding communities that make this such a great place to live and visit! With the great September weather, lakes, parks, museums, zoos and other attractions, not to mention the shopping at The Mall of America, it makes perfect sense to come visit and feis at the same time!
Please scroll through the tabs to the left which should help you plan your visit, and we look forward to seeing you all real soon! If you have any questions, you can contact us here.
The Minnesota Feis is free and open to the public to attend.
Can't decide if you want to come visit this fall??? Here's just 10 reasons worth the trip! 1. Obviously, the chance to participate in the 12th Annual Minnesota Feis, in a great venue that's easy to get to, and with an intimate setting in downtown Saint Paul. 2. There are two great cities, (thus the name Twin Cities) this means, double the fun! 3. You've heard of it but haven't had the chance to experience it yet. The Mall of America with Nickelodeon Universe and The Minnesota Aquarium just for starters! 4. Great Museums, starting across the street with The Science Museum where a round of mini golf is just $5 after 5pm or The Minnesota History Center just a few blocks away, or even the amazing Mill City Museum down the road in Minneapolis. 5. If it's arts you're looking for, wander through the Sculpture Garden in Minneapolis and take your picture with the "Spoonbridge and Cherry" (aka The Cherry on a Spoon). 6. Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes (actually 11,842) so take a stroll through the interconnecting Chain of Lakes in Minneapolis or pick another lake for a quiet picnic. 7. The mighty Mississippi river which starts in Northern Minnesota and has spectacular views from The Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis and runs past the Historic Fort Snelling to the Riverfront regional Park in Saint Paul and on. 8. If it's sports you like,The Minnesota Gophers take on the Orangemen of Syracuse at the new TCF Stadium, which is just down the road. 9. If you love animals, two great zoos! Como Park Zoo & Conservatory in Saint Paul or The Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley. 10. Last but not least, just come spend a lazy weekend in the Twin Cities, a community very proud of its deep Irish roots. Enjoy many fine dining restaurants or just kick-back in one of the numerous Irish pubs!
