## About

Step inside Saint Paul's historic 'Castle on the Park'—the magnificent Richardsonian Romanesque Landmark Center in downtown Saint Paul—for free family performing arts over Thanksgiving weekend. Saint Paul City Ballet dancers perform enchanting excerpts from The Nutcracker and autumn suites under the soaring five-story central skylit cortile.

Kids are invited to sit up close on floor cushions near the marble fountain, while parents push strollers through wide marble arcades. After the performance, families can explore Landmark Center's free woodcarving museum and Schubert Club musical instrument gallery with touchable pianos.
