Stop by for piano performances throughout the summer at pianos located all across downtown. Most pianos performances will take place from 12-1 pm on Thursdays.
Pianos on Parade presented by PNC Bank are painted by local artists to reflect a vibrant mpls downtown theme. Artist collaborations this summer include CHOICE, Inc., FAIR School for Arts, Metro Work Center, Modern Day Me, MSS Fresh Eye Arts, and individual local artists.
Plus, take a look at several PDFs with sheet music. Play piano reading music off your phone or mobile device! The beauty of the Pianos on Parade program is anyone can use the pianos to share their talents with the community. When you see a piano, pull up this sheet music and play!

The 2025 Pianos on Parade presented by PNC Bank program is produced by the mpls downtown council in partnership with Keys 4/4 Kids. Thank you to all of our partners and piano locations for helping make this event a success each year.
Over the past eight years, we’ve had a collection of surprise performances like James “Cornbread” Harris, Phil Thompson, Kerri Noble, Lorie Line, Nicholas David and Mark Mallman, music videos shot by artists Jon Storm and Mark Mallman, and an incredible group of local (and visiting) piano players who shared music daily. Come find a piano and play throughout June!
While you’re here, don’t miss out on the opportunity to share your experience with others. Invite friends, family and colleagues to come with you, and post your photos and videos on social media using the hashtags #pianosonparade and #mymplsdt.
You can learn more by following @mplsdowntown on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
