Saint Paul Winter Carnival

In 1885, a reporter from New York critiqued Saint Paul in Winter as "another Siberia, unfit for human habitation." The very next year the city offered its defiant response, the Saint Paul Winter Carnival. Today, 75 events are featured both indoors and out. Snow carving, an ice palace, and even golf on ice celebrate Winter in the far North.

City around

Welcome To saint paul, MN

Saint Paul, MN is Much More than Hockeytown U.S.A.

Situated on the confluence of the Minnesota and the Mississippi Rivers, the "Twin City" metropolis boasts a history that dates back thousands of years. Popular historic locations to see include the Indian Mounds Park and the Wabasha Street Caves. In the evening, visitors might catch a live performance on the Minnesota Centennial Showboat.

Things to do

During the first week in May, St. Paul presents the Festival of Nations, which provides an entertaining and fascinating look at world cultures. The event brings together 90 ethnic groups who celebrate and share their culture and heritage.

The Irish Fair of Minnesota takes place in the middle of August and welcomes thousands to share in the celebration of the Celtic culture. Festivities include traditional music and dance along with Gaelic sporting events, a marketplace and plenty of food and drink.

The end of summer means the beginning of the annual Minnesota State Fair. The event attracts nearly two million guests who enjoy the hundreds of live entertainment shows, livestock competitions, various demonstrations, hundreds of 4-H and FFA exhibits and the Mighty Midway.

The holiday festivities do not end with New Year's as the end of January marks the beginning of the Saint Paul Winter Carnival. Hundreds of thousands venture into the brisk air to see ice sculptures, an ice palace, take part in treasure hunts and enjoy the food.
