MODE Festival takes over downtown Minneapolis this weekend.

From photography and exhibitions to live music, workshops, and creative installations, the city will come alive with experiences across multiple venues, including The Dayton’s Project, September 18-20.

A better kind of lunch break. A little sunshine, fresh air, and time to enjoy the city from above.

The Minnesota State Fair may only last 12 days, but the fair-inspired fun is taking over The Dayton’s Project all August long.

Dayton’s Project tenants are invited to celebrate the season with themed weeks inspired by the Minnesota State Fair - from Midway Week and Dairy Days to Food on a Stick Week and our Grandstand Finale. Each week brings new experiences, including Tuesday Popsicle Pop-Ups and activities, Wednesday Happy Hours, and Thursday Dirty Soda Bars.

Plus, get creative with our Butter Sculpture Competition and help us select this year’s winning masterpiece.

Help us give back during our School Supply Drive benefiting local students August 4-14.

And while you’re at the Fair, visit Dayton’s Markets - returning to the Minnesota State Fair August 27-September 7 on the Grandstand’s second floor.
