Today, on what would have been his 58th birthday, it’s Prince Day in Minnesota. Minnesota has shown we can remember Prince in exuberant fashion, and today it’s time to prove it again. Here are a few ways you can celebrate the Purple One today and honor all the wonderful contributions he made to the world and to Minnesota.

  1. Make a pilgrimage to Paisley Park, and be sure to bring something purple.
