In honor of Prince Celebration Week, the Minneapolis skyline will be illuminated in purple on Saturday, June 6, as fans from around the world gather to celebrate Prince's life and legacy.
The news was announced by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who has proclaimed June 1-7 "Prince Celebration Week" in Minneapolis, recognizing Prince's immeasurable impact on the city's culture, identity, and global legacy as fans from around the world gather to honor the artist during the 10th anniversary year of Prince Celebration.
"There are few artists as connected to a city as Prince is to Minneapolis," said Frey. "His music, style, and creativity helped define who we are and how the world sees us. Prince Celebration Week gives us the opportunity to celebrate the hometown legend who made purple our unofficial city color and put Minneapolis on the map in a way no one else could."
L. Londell McMillan shares, "We appreciate the City of Minneapolis' recognition of Prince's legacy and the global fams community, who love him. The fams are already assembling from around the world, and it's an honor to join them as we come together in Minneapolis to celebrate Prince's life, legacy, and enduring impact."
Among the Prince Celebration's marquee events is Prince Celebration of Life 10th Anniversary Concert at The Armory on June 5, where members of The New Power Generation and The Revolution will unite on stage alongside Morris Day, Miguel, Tevin Campbell, Bilal, Kat Graham and more, for a special evening celebrating Prince's music and influence.
Prince Celebration Week will also bring the city together through a series of free community events, including the Prince Celebration Block Party and inaugural Prince Sing-Along on June 6 at the iconic Prince mural in downtown Minneapolis.
