The One Minnesota Inaugural Celebration welcomed new Gov. Tim Walz and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan.

The event, held at the Minneapolis Convention Center, featured an eclectic mix of Minnesota-themed food and talent, from breakdancers to hip-hop performers to an alt-country singer.

An estimated 3,000 supporters — as well as a group of protesters — attended the free event, open to the public.

It was put on by the One Minnesota Inaugural Committee, which collected donations and coordinated this and other events.
