Marianne Combs joins The Morning Show to talk about the fun and playful weekend activities happening in the Twin Cities from July 17-21.

You can't smash vases from your bike, but you can ride your bike right up through the museums doors! A fun night is planned, including live music by Southside Desire, hand-painted art bikes by Gregg Rochester, photo booths, bike check-ups and more!

More information on The Current's Event Calendar.

Play Day activities range from ping pong to electronic hopscotch; from massage and acupuncture to Ayurvedic medicine; from video games in a backpack to DIY activities. There will be musicians performing all day on the Balancing Ground stage.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. More information can be found at the Minneapolis Convention Center website.

The preview features three-minute excerpts of 30 different Fringe Festival shows. It's only four bucks for a Fringe Festival button and gives you a good idea of the craziness to expect at the Minnesota Fringe Festival July 31-August 10.
