Torchlight Parade To Honor Mpls. On 150th Birthday

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ― The city of Minneapolis will celebrate its 150th birthday at tonight's Aquatennial Torchlight Parade.
  
The parade will include a historic firefighting truck, delegates from five of Minneapolis' Sister Cities on a double-decker bus, and a "Jazzin' Up Minneapolis Neighborhoods" float, sponsored by the Minneapolis Neighborhood Revitalization Program.
  
The people of Minneapolis voted to become a town in 1858 -- the same year that Minnesota became a state.
  
The CenterPoint Energy Torchlight Parade runs from 8:30 to 10:30 tonight through downtown Minneapolis.
