Dive deeper in Prince’s legacy with a new self-guided tour of The Purple One’s Minneapolis. New markers, dubbed ‘The Purple Path’ have been installed around the city to honor late musical icon.
The self-guided tour is a new project from Meet Minneapolis, Paisley Park, and the Downtown Improvement District that features temporary sidewalk clings marking places around Minneapolis (and one in Chanhassen) that were significant places in Prince’s life.

The purple sidewalk markers are scattered around Minneapolis, with the majority in places around downtown at familiar locales like the Dakota Jazz Club, First Avenue, and the Schmitt Music Mural.
Though there are deeper cuts as well, offering a deeper dive into Prince’s life. Each marker has a QR code that can be scanned to gain insight into why places like the IDS Center, the now-gone Glam Slam, or Mt. Sinai Hospital are part of Prince’s legacy.
The many Purple Path markets around town include:
- Original Sound 80 Studios (2709 E 25th St.)
- Capri Theater (2027 W Broadway Ave.)
- First Avenue (701 N 1st Ave.)
- Glam Slam (Now Cowboy Jack’s, 110 N 5th St.)
- Bunker’s Music Bar & Grill (761 Washington Ave. N)
- Dakota Jazz Club (1010 Nicollet Mall, will be installed at a later date)
- Electric Fetus (2000 4th Ave. S) For a complete list of the Purple Path, visit Minneapolis.org.
