Sanders' chief rival for the Democratic nomination, Hillary Clinton, was invited but her campaign said she's not able to attend.
Both Sanders, a U.S. senator for Vermont, and former Secretary of State Clinton are scheduled to be in the Twin Cities earlier Friday for a DFL fundraising dinner, where they are both speaking.
