Northstar Grand Opening events set for Nov. 14
Join us at the Northstar Commuter Rail Line’s Grand Opening on Saturday, Nov. 14.
We’re celebrating with events at all stations along the Northstar Line, giving you a chance to meet Minnesota’s new star in person!
Food and entertainment are planned at each station. A limited number of free roundtrip train rides from the suburban stations to Target Field Station in downtown Minneapolis will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Note: no train rides will be provided at Target Field Station on Nov. 14, but you can tour a Northstar
train that day.
