St. Paul Winter Carnival Grande Day Parade Moves to Grand Avenue
The St. Paul Festival and Heritage Foundation, producers of the St. Paul Winter Carnival, have partnered with the Grand Avenue Business Association (GABA) to move the Winter Carnival Grande Day Parade to Grand Ave on January 25, 2025. On the first Saturday of Carnival at 2 pm, more than a hundred colorful and entertaining units will proceed down the beloved Capital City street for the first time from Dale until just past Lexington Avenue on Grand Avenue.
“We are so excited to be partnering with the St. Paul Winter Carnival and bringing the beloved Grande Day Parade to Grand Avenue,” says GABA President Chris Jensen. “We can’t wait for January 25th to get here as we know the businesses on Grand Ave and the entire community will enjoy celebrating the treasured tradition of Winter Carnival’s Grande Day Parade.”
“The Winter Carnival has always been about celebrating all of St. Paul,” says Lisa Jacobson, president and CEO of the St. Paul Festival and Heritage Foundation. “By relocating the Grande Day Parade to Grand Avenue, we reach more people in the community who want to be involved in The Coolest Celebration on Earth™.”
The 139th celebration of the St. Paul Winter Carnival takes place January 23 – February 2, 2025. For more information, please visit wintercarnival.com.
