"Luminiscence at the Basilica, Holiday Markets, and a Crisp Fall Friday in Minneapolis"
Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Friday, November 28th, 2025.
We're waking up to mostly clear skies this morning with temperatures hovering around 19 degrees, so bundle up out there if you're heading out early. It's a crisp fall day, perfect for some of the festive activities happening around the city this weekend.
Speaking of which, we've got some exciting things unfolding in Minneapolis right now. If you haven't checked out Luminiscence at the Basilica of Saint Mary yet, this immersive light and music installation is unlike anything we've seen before. It's the first time a North American city is hosting this internationally acclaimed production, and it uses 3D mapping technology to transform the entire interior of the basilica into a 360-degree canvas of color and sound. It's running through January, so you've got plenty of time to experience it.
The holiday season is really ramping up downtown. The Minneapolis Christkindl Market is in full swing in the North Loop, bringing that authentic German Christmas market vibe with wooden huts, twinkling lights, and mulled wine. Meanwhile, we've got the Holiday Artisan Market happening this weekend too, featuring handcrafted gifts you won't find anywhere else. It's a great opportunity to support local artists and makers.
On the civic side, the city council has some items on the agenda we should be aware of. There's been a proposal moving forward to consider a 15 dollar minimum price for a pack of cigarettes, which is heading to a vote soon. It's part of the ongoing conversation about public health policy in our city.
In the business community, we're seeing some changes. The uptown boutique Proper is closing after a decade in Minneapolis, though their Fargo location will stay open. At the same time, a new bubble tea chain is moving into a former Caribou Coffee location on Grand Avenue in Saint Paul, keeping that area vibrant and evolving.
We do want to mention that yesterday evening, the Minneapolis Fire Department responded to a house fire at 36th and Garfield Avenue South around 4:30 p.m. Firefighters rescued an adult from the second floor who is currently in serious condition at a local hospital. A dog was also rescued but unfortunately didn't survive. The cause is still under investigation.
Looking ahead, we've got the Minneapolis park system gearing up for winter with plans to open 44 outdoor ice rinks at 22 different city parks, so families will have plenty of options to get outside and enjoy the season.
As we head into the final days of November and toward the holiday rush, there's a lot happening in our community. Whether you're shopping for gifts, catching a show, or just enjoying the seasonal atmosphere, there's something for everyone.
