Founding Partners

Since 1886, the Saint Paul Winter Carnival has brought family-friendly events and community pride to Saint Paul and the Twin Cities metro area. Through city-wide special events, The Saint Paul Winter Carnival attracts over 250,000 visitors a year and has an approximately $2–$3 million dollar economic impact to the city of Saint Paul and the State of Minnesota.

Established in 2006, the U.S. Pond Hockey Championships have given hockey enthusiasts a premier opportunity to experience hockey the way nature intended. Uniquely Minnesotan, this winter tradition is one of the most exciting events of the season with over 2,300 adult players and more than 20,000 spectators over the three day event. Since its inception, the tournament has received one billion media impressions including features on ESPN, NBC’s Today’s Show, USA Today, Sports Illustrated, Good Morning America and many others.

The City of Lakes Loppet Winter Festival includes festivities for skiers, bikers, skijorers, and snowshoers of all ages and abilities, in addition to events for the biggest fans of the season. Events like Captain Ken’s Kubb Tournament, the Southwest Journal Snow Sculpture Contest, and the Star Tribune Skate Ski Loppet provide unique ways to enjoy a true Minnesotan winter. And the Luminary Loppet is guaranteed to be the most magical night of the year.
