The St. Paul Winter Carnival starts Wednesday, January 24th and runs for 17 days. Among the many festivities are: the royal coronation, the ice palace, the snow/ice sculpture competition, the cat show, parades, and the medallion hunt. The Winter Carnival is one of St. Paul’s biggest events, and it will be even more fantastic than usual this year because Minnesota is hosting the Super Bowl.
