Saint Paul Festival and Heritage Foundation
The Saint Paul Festival and Heritage Foundation is a non-profit membership organization that produces the Saint Paul Winter Carnival. Thanks to our members, sponsors, fundraisers, donors, and charitable gaming efforts, we have been able to continue this century-long tradition and create fun, family-friendly celebrations each year for the Saint Paul community.
~ 138th Winter Carnival ~
The Saint Paul Festival and Heritage Foundation’s 138th Saint Paul Winter Carnival will run for 10 days – all day on weekends and evenings during the week. From Thursday, January 25 through Saturday, February 4, 2024 (Snow Park is the only thing open on February 4, 2024), the festival will attract 100,000+ people from Saint Paul and beyond to celebrate winter in Minnesota. Landmark Center, located in the heart of downtown Saint Paul, the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, and businesses throughout the city will be venues for event festivities, which include ice carving competitions, family-friendly artistic and educational activities, and much more!
The festival has expanded each year to provide new programming that reflects changing demographics of the community. Landmark Center features free entertainment activities from diverse cultures: music and dance by local artists, hands-on crafts, and food and merchandise booths from around the world.
