In past years, residencies have been an oasis in the cold, dark winter months. But this season, the COVID-19 pandemic is threatening live music again.

If you’re heading out this New Year’s Eve, there are celebrations planned across Minneapolis and St. Paul. Here are over a dozen festive options.

There’s no shortage of stuff to stream this season, but if you’re the kind of person who likes to be ahead of the curve when it comes to awards announcements, you’ll make sure to catch these ten movies that are getting Oscars buzz.

‘Flashdance.’ ‘Footloose.’ ‘Ghostbusters.’ Music and movies have always gone together, but the '80s brought popcorn and the pop charts closer than ever before, or since. That was largely the result of Hollywood economics in the MTV era, but it was also thanks to two Minnesota inventions: the indoor shopping mall and the Musicland stores that turned cassettes into impulse buys.

As you plan your holiday gifts this year, make sure you consider giving some love to crafters, creatives, assemblers and makers based here in Minnesota.

Holiday shopping is well underway, but there's still plenty of time to find the perfect treat for your loved ones (or yourself).

Holiday shows are popping up at venues across the Twin Cities, from a cathedral of trees to a cathedral of…well, cathedral.

All winter long, The Current will help you enjoy the best of the season with weekly guides to events, entertainment, and recreation in the Twin Cities.
