Not since Thanksgiving of 1994 has D14 been awarded the opportunity to host one of the ACBL's three NABCs during the year.  But July 9 to 19 of 2026, we'll be hosting the Summer NABC in Minneapolis.  It promises to be historical, but more importantly, FUN for everyone in attendance!

Scroll down on this page to find out more about how to get there - what to do when you ARE there - the playing schedule - the playing venue - and much more.  Make your plans this summer to be a part of the action.
 The host hotels and their positioning next to the Minneapolis Convention Center playing area.  Each of the hotels is connected by a skyway, so even if it happens to be super humid outside you can walk to and from your hotel room in air-conditioned comfort.  You can make a hotel reservation through the ACBL's hotel reservation system by clicking here.  And check out the map to your left by clicking on it and opening it in a new window.
 Here's a map of the Minneapolis Convention Center that outlines the playing area for this summer's NABC.  All of the NABC+ events will be held on the main floor, in Ballrooms A and B.  The Regionally-rated events (pretty much everything else) will be held in Exhibit Hall A which is two floors down.  There are elevators and escalators for your convenience - and stairs if you'd like to get some steps in.
 Check out the NABC playing schedule.  During these 11 days in July, you'll find everything from expert-dominated NABC+ events to collegiate bridge bowl games to Gold Rush games along with everything else in between.  This is an event where there really is something for everyone, no matter what your experience level.  Click on the schedule to your left to open it in a new window and expand it for better viewing.
 Click on the chart to your left to find out more about transportation and parking options while attending the NABC in Minneapolis.  NOTE that the Blue Line light rail system will be down this summer - that typically takes players from the airport to downtown Minneapolis.  But not to worry, as they will have plenty of extra buses running in place of the Blue Line - including express buses that will whisk you downtown fast.
 There's so much to do in the Twin Cities when you're not at the bridge table, but one of the perks of playing at this NABC is that you've got access to discounted Minnesota Twins tickets.  Click on the icon to your left to get to the discounted Twins tickets page for ACBL players.  The weather should be perfect for a ball game!
 Much, much more information can be found on the ACBL's NABC page.  Visit it - followed by a visit with your bridge-playing partners - and then plan to visit Minneapolis in July.
