Saint Paul is gearing up for the 135th Saint Paul Winter Carnival: January 28 – February 7, 2021. What will this year’s Carnival look like? Plan for some changes to allow for social distancing. Parades and ice skating look like they may be out, but other favorite events are going forward. Most events are family-friend and FREE. Activities take place in downtown Saint Paul, near Rice Park and Landmark Center, as well as at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.
Check back as we approach the Winter Carnival. We’ll update as more information comes in.
