Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama is coming back to Minnesota.

Obama is scheduled to speak Tuesday evening at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. That's according to Tina Smith, senior adviser to the Obama campaign in Minnesota.

The event is free and open to the public.

The last time Obama appeared in Minnesota was the weekend before last February's "Super Tuesday." The Illinois senator drew almost 20,000 to the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis.

Obama is trying to wrap up his Democratic primary race with Hillary Rodham Clinton. The last primaries will be held Tuesday.

Xcel Energy Center also is the site of the Republican National Convention, where John McCain is expected to formally receive the GOP nomination for president in September.
