Mother's Day is Sunday May 11.

This year, Mother's Day is also the 150th anniversary of Minnesota's statehood, and several historic sites are putting on events to celebrate both. Sibley House, Fort Snelling, and the Gibbs Museum of Pioneer and Dakotah Life are all holding special events for Minnesota's Moms.

It's also a day to run (or walk, or wheel, or toddle...) for a great cause. The Annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is on Mother's Day at the Mall of America, with several races for all ages and abilities. Race, pledge, or cheer on the participants and support an important cause.

And there's music, river cruises, train rides and more on offer in and around the Twin Cities. Here's a guide to Mother's Day events in Minneapolis, St. Paul and beyond.
