​Whatever you end up doing with your weekend, the color green will most likely be involved. Both Minneapolis and St. Paul will be celebrating St. Patrick's Day with tons of happens between both cities. Plus, the Metro Transit will be free starting at 6 p.m. on Saturday. The Mall of America will also be awash in a sea of green as folks attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (really). Fortunately, if you don't want to spend green you won't have to. There's plenty of free stuff to do. Check out our list after the jump.
