The City of Minneapolis and Paisley Park will celebrate Prince's life and legacy with community sing-along at the Prince Celebration Block Party.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, alongside civic leaders and representatives from Paisley Park, announced details for the large-scale participatory music event, which will be a one-time-only signature addition to the annual Prince Celebration Block Party on June 6.
"In Minneapolis, we don't just remember Prince - we feel him in the streets, in the music, in who we are," said Frey. "So, this June, we're turning downtown into a citywide choir, a full-on celebration, and yes, a dance party too. Whether you can hit every note or just love his songs, this sing-along is about honoring a legacy that still brings this city together every day. Trust me - you're going to want to be part of this."
The two-hour sing-along will be a free, all-ages outdoor event near the downtown Prince mural on the day before what would have been the Prince's 68th birthday.
Led by acclaimed musical director Sanford Moore of Moore By Four and a Minneapolis-based mass choir of 100 vocalists, the crowd will be guided through a selection of Prince's greatest hits, including "Purple Rain," "When Doves Cry," and "Sometimes it Snows in April."
The Sing-Along represents the City of Minneapolis' contribution to memorialize the 10-year anniversary year of Prince's death and his birthday (June 7) as part of the Prince Celebration. The goal is to have up to 15,000 people singing arm-in-arm to Prince's beloved music, possibly even setting a record for the most uploaded social stories in one place.
The multi-day Prince Celebration is an annual gathering of devoted Prince fans from around the world presented by Paisley Park. This year's major five-day event, a "10th Anniversary Celebration of Life," will take place during June 3 - 7.
