Street Show Artists Unite for Justice

Join us in July and August as Street Show performers dedicate their live-streamed noontime performances on Tuesdays and Thursdays to social justice organizations. Instead of asking for your contributions to their virtual tip jars, they’ll be asking for your support toward making Minneapolis a more just city. Mpls DID will contribute the first $100 in the performers’ honor to their selected charity.  Learn more.

Street Show – Live Streaming Performance

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, our spring season is going virtual—performances are at noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays in May and June.

Normally, this time of year we are gearing up—prepping the little red wagons, booking musicians and other performers and getting ready to launch the Street Show season downtown. Since we can’t be out there on the street for you, we want to bring you a bit of joy over lunchtimes in May and June with a live streaming version of Street Show featuring some of our regulars (and a few special guests). So whether you are working remotely, or one of our essential downtown workers, we hope you’ll tune in.
