Community Events
TPT works with community organizations, partners, and sponsors to hold events that foster connection, empathy, learning, and growing together. International Holocaust Remembrance Day In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, TPT partnered with the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) of Minnesota and the Dakotas to sponsor two community conversations with historian Rebecca Erbelding and JCRC Executive Director Steve Hunegs around The US and the Holocaust , a film by Ken Burns, Lynn Novick, and Sarah Botstein. 220 community members attended these events.

Minnesota State Fair TPT welcomed families to the Great Minnesota Get- Together to enjoy their favorite PBS Kids characters and play with several hands-on activities. Over 11,000 fairgoers stopped by, and visitors expressed appreciation for the Nursing Nest, a quiet, private area where families cared for themselves and their babies. The Nursing Nest was presented by WIC.
I can’t believe TPT offers Be My Neighbor Day to everyone. This IS really in the spirit of Daniel Tiger.

Hello + Winter A partnership with Melanin in Motion and the Loppet Foundation, this event for Black, Indigenous, and community members of color who were new to winter sports was held at Theodore Wirth Trailhead. The event aligned with the release of Outside Chance season 2, and attracted approximately 250 attendees who received free cross-country ski lessons and rentals. In August 2023, International Holocaust Remembrance Day received a Public Media Award in the Special Events category which recognizes the highest caliber content, education, marketing, and engagement in public media.

Thank you for having a sensory area. My grandson can’t attend so many events because there’s nowhere to cool down. – GRANDPARENT AT BMND
