An exciting contest is happening over at the Beat the Winter Blues & Jazz Festival page! Good luck!

🎷✨ GIVEAWAY TIME! ✨🎷

We’re giving away 2 tickets to see The New Standards Holiday Show this Saturday!

If you joined us for last year’s Beat the Winter Blues & Jazz Festival, you remember the joy and magic they brought to Alexandria. Their holiday show was just named one of the Top 10 Concerts to See by the Star Tribune, a well-deserved nod to their surprise-filled tradition.

In our opinion, the matinee is the hidden gem! It’s a great value + the luxury of an unhurried dinner afterward, followed by a cozy winter night at home. There are still plenty of great seats available for the perfect showtime. The giveaway is for our favorite - the 4 pm matinee. Location: The beautiful State Theatre in Minneapolis.

An added gift, as we like to do...🌟 We’ll also have a surprise for the winner at the show.🌟

Enter to win:

• Bonus entry for sharing this post

Winner announced Thursday at 6 pm.
Good luck, and Happy Holidayshow!

Rivana's premiere Destination Experience was so much fun! The Rivana Experience in Red Wing was filled with art, history, connection, and a touch of adventure.

We began with a private Trolley Tour through historic Red Wing, where stories of the town came to life around every corner. From riverfront views to charming neighborhoods, it was the perfect start to a day rooted in discovery. The cast even joined us on the tour!

Our group then enjoyed lunch and conversation with The Sheldon's Executive Director Shantel Dow and The Lord Chamberlain's Men's Producer and Director Peter Stickney, whose insight and passion made for an inspiring discussion and helped to set the stage for the show.

The highlight of the day: premiere seats at the beautiful Sheldon Theatre of Performing Arts for Twelfth Night, performed by the world-renowned The Lord Chamberlain’s Men. The performance was nothing short of magical, and seeing it in such a stunning historic theatre made the experience unforgettable. Spending time with the cast and director before the show really enhanced the performance and formed a special connection in our group.

Some of us made a weekend of it - arriving a day early to stay at the historic St. James Hotel, taking a self-guided sculpture tour, and exploring Red Wing’s wonderful galleries and shops, followed by a lovely dinner, drinks, and local live music.

From start to finish, this Rivana Experience captured what we love most: meaningful moments, shared experiences, and the joy of exploring art and culture together.

Thank you, Red Wing. You were good to us!

“I saw this production at Dyrham Park, a wonderful magical evening! How amazing an experience it was to enjoy a comedy written over 400 years ago by the Bard, performed by a world-class company of actors in period style costume. Not to mention the wonderful singing and music! Shakespeare fans, this is a must see.”

“These men are at the top of their game.”

A day of Shakespeare, charm, and connection awaits! Join us for Rivana's debut Destination Experience THIS Saturday, November 1st, in beautiful Red Wing, MN!
