Planning to visit Minnesota in the United States? Spare some time and visit the annual celebration known as the St. Paul Winter Carnival! This event transforms Minnesota"s capital city, St. Paul, into a winter wonderland of festivity and joy between January 25 and February 4. In 1885, a group of reporters visited and referred to Minnesota as another Siberia, which offended city officials. As a response, they devised a plan to showcase the area"s winter beauty. The Winter Carnival was born, featuring various seasonal activities such as bobsledding and ice horse racing. Today, the celebration serves to impress visitors and strengthen community bonds through parades, markets, winter sports and ice carving competitions and displays, such as the beautiful frozen skyline seen in today"s image.
