Saint Paul Events, Things to Do and Festivals 2014 / 2015

(Saint Paul, Minnesota - MN, USA)



Minnesota's capital often joins forces with its Twin City of Minneapolis to stage some of the state's largest festivals and fairs. In St. Paul itself, many events are staged at venues such as the Fitzgerald Theater, the Xcel Energy Center, the RiverCenter, the Landmark Center and the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, where touring Broadway shows, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and the Minnesota Opera are all highlights.

Offering the chance to party away the winter blues, the Saint Paul Winter Carnival takes place every year at the end of January and has become famous for its spectacular ice sculptures and ice palace. The carnival has its origins in the mid-1880s and sees attendance levels now topping 350,000 people.

During the sunny summer months, tourism is in full swing in St. Paul and festivities are in full flow. The biggest and best include the St. Anthony Park Art Festival each June, followed by the Twin Cities Jazz Festival at the end of the month. In August, both the Irish Fair of Minnesota at Harriet Island and the Minnesota State Fair at the State Fairgrounds (Falcon Heights) are huge events, the latter of which boasts visitor numbers of close to two million.
