Civic Fest: A Very Minnesota Celebration is a public event being held in conjunction with the Republican National Convention. The nearly 300,000 square foot event will celebrate Minnesota and American history, democracy and the U.S. presidency.

Visitors to CivicFest will learn about the U.S. Presidency and can sit at a replica of the President's desk in the White House Oval Office. A 20-foot by 60-foot meticulously detailed model of the White House and its contents previously exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution and Presidential Libraries will be on display.

CivicFest also will celebrate Minnesota business, technology and invention as well as the state's fascinating history and natural resources. Each visitor will receive a Convention-style commemorative CivicFest credential.

More than 150,000 people are expected to attend CivicFest. More information at www.civicfest.org.
