Jam on display at the Farmers Market at Minnetrista.

Farmers Market has moved indoors for the season, but you can still find locally sourced meats, artisanal goods, and more. Gather with friends and family to discover the winter bounty of our region at Minnetrista’s Indoor Farmers Market.

Get ready to experience an amazing journey in the crazy world of Wonderland! Based on the classic by Lewis Carroll, “Alice” is an action-packed theatrical circus full of surprises, amazing acts, video projection with 3-D mapping and live music. Alice’s adventures are a manifesto to fantasy and free spirit, as well as a profound philosophy towards respecting all opinions, including those that may be different from your own.

Imagine the March Hare balancing on a tower of chairs during a tea party or The Mad Hatter playing crazy instruments or Alice performing acrobatics inside a giant keyhole!

“Dreaming of Wonderland” features an international cast of veteran performers from across Europe and North America, including acrobats, a 4-member hand-to-hand balancing act, a one-man band, and a new art form creating original creations with smoke and bubbles.

So follow the White Rabbit, pass through the keyhole and join us at the Tea Party, remember that you don’t need to look for meaning, after all…”we’re all mad here!” Get your tickets today!
