MARCH
Glow Yoga: Purple Rain Edition
This is what it looks like when Minneapolis glows — purple, fearless, and just a little bit wild
Step into Glow Yoga: Purple Rain Edition, a neon-soaked tribute to His Royal Badness where breath hits the bassline, movement melts into melody, and the whole room hums like a late-night set at First Ave. It’s part yoga, part art, part Minneapolis mischief — and by the end, you won’t just be stretching, you’ll be sparking with pure purple energy.

A Very British Whodunnit
Last Orders at the Teabridge Taproom An Immersive, Mystery Paint & Sip Experience
MAR 28
Did someone say cocktails in teapots? Step into Brit’s Pub for A Very British Whodunnit: Last Orders at the Teabridge Taproom — a deliciously scandalous paint-and-sip mystery where teapots run wild, clues spill faster than gossip, rival societies battle for glory, and you just might walk away as Chancellor of the Cheeky Chat.

APRIL
The Outrageously Illegal Society of the Bottomless Flask
A No-Good, Double-Crossing Mystery Paint & Sip Night
FEB 18
6.00 - 8.30 pm
If bootleg cocktails and back-alley brushstrokes got your attention, then you’re in the right place. Sneak into Steady Pour for a no-good, double-crossing Mystery Paint & Sip Night, where the hooch stays hidden, the paint gets rowdy, and your canvas just might hold the clue everyone’s been whispering about. With shady characters milling around, rumors flying faster than a busted moonshine still, and every crew trying to outsmart the next, it’s up to you to piece together what really went down and crack the case before the coppers do.
