This holiday season, we are excited to debut the Community Stage, a festive space dedicated to spotlighting local music and uplifting organizations that make a difference. 

Carrying forward our tradition of holiday musical performances, the stage will feature the talents of local performers and celebrate the meaningful work of community foundations and charities through a series of special events.

We invite guests to gather, enjoy the sounds of the season and celebrate the joy of music, community and giving back.

Music Selection:

Mall of America warmly welcomes guests from all backgrounds and beliefs. The Community Stage aims to celebrate the season with holiday-themed musical performances that resonate with everyone. To ensure an inclusive experience, performers and groups must adhere to the following guidelines:

• Holiday-Themed Music: Performances should be centered around festive, holiday-themed music. Please be aware of the differences between holiday music and worship music.
• No Proselytizing or Religious Content: To maintain a welcoming environment, performances must avoid proselytizing, preaching, sermons or prayers.

Due to the high volume of requests and questions, all communication regarding performances must be done via email, events@moa.net. We look forward to working with you soon!
