Keep the outdoor party rolling! Cap off the day with a delicious meal at one of Saint Paul's many restaurants, followed by a scoop (or two) at one of our favorite ice cream shops.

7. Latvian Song & Dance Festival | June 29-July 4

Immerse yourself in Latvian culture as downtown Saint Paul welcomes thousands of dancers and dozens of choirs from North America and Europe to Saint Paul.
