Saint Paul Winter Carnival 27 Jan 2024

A chilly paradise awaits at the Saint Paul Winter Carnival! This annual celebration transforms the US state of Minnesota"s capital city, Saint Paul, into a winter wonderland of festivity and joy, this year 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 bobsleighing and ice horse-racing. Today, the celebration serves not only to impress visitors but to 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.
