Festival 2024 – Know Before You Go

Coming to Festival is not an easy thing to do! GALA Choruses is grateful to the 7000 singers who are making the effort to come. Here’s a list of things to keep in mind—Know Before You Go!

Festival Village

The Festival Village is centered around Nicollet Mall and is comprised of the Festival performance halls, the 15 hotels in in the housing block, and a space for youth activities.

Thrifty GALA Festival Guide

Welcome to the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul! While Festival offers a great many entertainment options included with your delegate registration, there is certainly much more to do and see if you’ve got the time. Also, while downtown Minneapolis is not the most inexpensive of cities, there are several ways to enjoy it while keeping to a slim budget. Here are a few ideas.

Festival 2024 COVID Policy

The COVID-19 pandemic is not over. It is now “endemic”—something that, while no longer urgent, is still present everywhere among us and something we still need to be vigilant about.  A few GALA member choruses have even had to cancel recent pride concerts.

Festival 2024 Code of Conduct

Let’s all do our part to make Festival 2024 in Minneapolis safe and enjoyable for all delegates and our hosts in the Twin Cities community!
