Paisley Park planning Xenophobia event for fall

According to Graceland as reported by the Star Tribune. Also in the story they mention one guy from Europe who spent over $4,000 on his trip. If it can bring in this kind of money I'm sure Minneapolis and Chanhassen will gladly participate in Celebration events in the future. I'll be curious to see what they're planning for the Super Bowl.

Joel Weinshanker, head of Graceland Holdings which runs Paisley, said the Celebration “couldn’t have gone better.” It will return April 19-22, 2018. He promises another event, Xenophobia, in the fall and Super Bowl-related festivities. He said the overall economic impact of the Celebration was $10 million for the Twin Cities.

One of the senior guides said nothing is nailed down yet, but they are planning various different types of events at different times of year.

Tickets sales are doing well. They are about to take on another 20 guides and move to 6 days a week opening.

Did you do a tour while you were here too? I'm curious if the tour guides have gotten better. I'm planing to do a tour at the end of May for my birthday.

The tour guides aren't actually reading from a script anymore, they have it memorized now. lol They are all very nice and respectful, but none of the ones I have met were actually ever in the building prior to it opening as a museum. So they have no personal stories.
