Mpls Downtown Improvement District — Local services in Minneapolis

I was visiting from out of state years ago, reading the signs for metered parking in Minneapolis. All was clear except the "events" exclusion (the parking rules were different when events were taking place).

What did the city consider an event and how could I tell if one would be taking place during time I would be parking in the area? From what I understood, there were at least 4 stadiums and numerous live music venues in the area. Maybe the city had outdoor events as well, like farmers' markets, parades, etc.

Searching Google didn't help at the time. However, Kenesha H was in the area and was super nice and helpful ... thank you Kenesha. I wanted to write a nice review for DID Minneapolis and Kenesha at the time, but just ran across...

We were in Minneapolis this weekend for a wedding 8/20/22. We had the pleasure of meeting Ambassador Richard while traversing thru the city . I must say Richard was a pleasure to speak with and was very knowledgeable in helping up find our way around in Minneapolis. He was able to direct us and give us information about the history of the city ( I am very sociable and asked him many questions) I was very impressed with Richard and the job he does . He in my opinion is a valuable employee and the city should be proud to have him . He is number one and my gf and I will always remember him for his time speaking with us , it was an honor to meet him . This is a great program, having ambassadors. Richard is aces and a keeper.
