"The variety of performances was excellent and the show was very family friendly. We would not hesitate to return."
~Linda K. (minnemom) of Travels with Children


Where can you see Mongolian foot jugglers, West African dancing, a Hmong comedian, Ojibwe drumming and amazing magic tricks? In a whimsical 90-minute, family-friendly variety show, of course! The exciting three-part performance series returns for another captivating good time in 3M Auditorium with multicultural and multi-generational artists who are classic and quirky.

Be a part of the show as you clap, swing and dance along. Test your wits with the Global Pop Quiz, then join the sing-along finale. It’s a mash-up of music, song, games and dance representing Africa, France, Japan, Scandinavia, Northern Asia, and Minnesota nice thrown in for extra spice. It’s all part of the Saturday matinee fun…so let us entertain you!
