Saint Paul Festival & Heritage Foundation

Overview

The Saint Paul Winter Carnival brings gleaming ice sculptures, hoardes of Vulcans, and the glitz of your very own Saint Paul royalty to downtown Saint Paul. Made possible by the Saint Paul Festival & Heritage Foundation, the Saint Paul Winter Carnival is a celebration of the festive spirit that makes Minnesota winters so wonderful. The Saint Paul Festival & Heritage Foundation's mission is to foster a sense of community, pride, belonging and connectedness by celebrating Saint Paul's unique history and emerging heritage through fun and educational experiences. The foundation provides year-round administrative management and provides the volunteer support, programming continuity and fiscal administration necessary to assure the continued growth and success of the Saint Paul Winter Carnival, which brings 350,000 visitors to Saint Paul each year.
