CELEBRATE THE WINTER WONDERLAND THAT IS MINNEAPOLIS

Great Northern CREDIT Lane Pelovsky-Meet Minneapolis

The Great Northern celebrates Minneapolis’ cold winters through 10 days creative ways to invigorate mind and body. 

With a full lineup of winter events and some serious FOMO (fear of missing out), locals make sure to get out and experience the winter wonderland that encapsulates us all for a few months out of the year.

The three main events are the U.S. Pond Hockey Championships, City of Lakes Loppet/Luminary Loppet and the Saint Paul Winter Carnival.

The U.S. Pond Hockey Championships are played on frozen Lake Nokomis – the way hockey is meant to be played. The just-for-fun tournament brings out the best pond hockey players from all over the country to compete in our state’s favorite sport.

Be sure to experience other fun events like the Minne-Loppet, skijoring, dog sledding, and the popular Luminary Loppet – the most magical event of the season with a candlelit trail winding across Lake of the Isles.

The Saint Paul Winter Carnival features a Torchlight Parade, Fire and Ice Winter Run, ice-carving competition, ice fishing tournament and more.
