About the Grain Belt Sign and Northeast

The illuminated Grain Belt Beer Sign stands on Nicollet Island along the Mississippi River. Erected in 1941, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016, and relit with LEDs in 2017, it remains one of the city’s most beloved riverfront icons. Dimensions and details vary by source, but the historic bottle cap sign is roughly fifty feet tall and wide and was converted from neon and incandescent lamps to efficient LED lighting during the restoration. Northeast itself blends an arts district with a historic riverfront, breweries, warehouses, and skyline views along the river corridor.
