Follow the Purple Path - a New Prince-related Initiative in Downtown

A new Prince-related initiative is underway in downtown Minneapolis.

Meet Minneapolis, in partnership with Paisley Park and the Downtown Improvement District, with support from The Minneapolis Foundation, is installing temporary sidewalk clings as part of The Purple Path, a citywide tribute to Prince’s legacy in Minneapolis. These clings will be in place through the fall and highlight significant locations tied to Prince’s life, music and connection to Minneapolis.

The Purple Path invites both locals and visitors to discover the city through the lens of one of its beloved icons, creating a fun, walkable and photo-worthy trail that celebrates creativity, community and purple pride. 

Below are The Purple Path locations in downtown Minneapolis:

  1. Dakota Jazz Club (1010 Nicollet Mall) (cannot install for 30 days to due sidewalk resealing)
  2. Schmitt Music Mural (South 10th Street & Marquette Avenue)
  3. IDS Center (80 South 8th Street)
  4. First Avenue & 7th Street Entry (701 North 1st Avenue)
  5. Orpheum Theatre (910 Hennepin Avenue)
  6. Downtown Mural (1st Avenue and 8th Street)
  7. Glam Slam (110 North 5th Street)
  8. Prince Photograph (North 1st Street & North 1st Avenue)

In addition to The Purple Path, Meet Minneapolis offers these resources to help visitors experience Prince’s Minneapolis:
