Opening Night Reception


Raise a glass to reading and celebrate
the best book fest in the upper midwest

Friday, November 7, 6–8:00pm

Minnesota Museum of American Art, 350 Robert St N, St. Paul

Rain Taxi invites you to a celebratory #TCBF shindig! Located in the historic Pioneer-Endicott building, the M has recently added a new wing, offering even more opportunities to see that Minnesota is a place where meaningful art has been made for centuries. Rain Taxi is thrilled to celebrate 25 years of the TCBF in this special space!

The reception will take place from 6-8 pm, and ticket holders may arrive at any time to enjoy the festivities. Docents from The M will be giving brief tours of the exhibits on view, and guests will enjoy an assortment of food from our reception sponsor Pizza Luce.  A brief program will take place at 7 pm, with remarks by artist Ta-coumba Aiken and writer Peg Guilfoyle, and State Representative Maria Isa Pérez-Vega, along with music by acoustic guitar maestro Phil Heywood, and a special toast — all to celebrate the first year of the TCBF at its new home in Saint Paul!

Purchase tickets below to support the best book fest in the Upper Midwest. We look forward to seeing you!

Advance ticket sales have concluded. You may purchase tickets at the door.
