Nicollet Island Pavilion β A Historic Riverfront Hub for Events
Located on a historic island in the heart of the Mississippi River, the Nicollet Island Pavilion is a charming late-Victorian event space built in 1893. It is not a daily public attraction but a picturesque venue for weddings, private events, and occasional public festivals, famous for providing one of the most breathtaking and classic views of the downtown Minneapolis skyline, framed by the Stone Arch Bridge. The Experience: π Location & Ambiance: Situated at 40 Power St on Nicollet Island, it offers a direct, panoramic vista of the Stone Arch Bridge, Guthrie Theater, and downtown skyscrapers from its riverfront position.
