Grand Old Day

Grand Old Day, Saint Paul’s first rite of summer, is where to go when you’re looking for things to do in the Twin Cities. It’s the kick off to Minnesota festivals season, and is the largest one-day festival in the Midwest.

Mark your calendars for the first Sunday in June, because you don’t want to miss out on Grand Old Day – one of the biggest and best Twin Cities events of the summer!

Fun for Everyone!

Grand Old Day is one of the best Minnesota festivals for people of all ages and interests. The only requirement is that you like having fun!

Whether you’re looking for the best summer parades in Minnesota (complete with candy, of course!), Minnesota music festivals to jam out to, some of the best fair foods Minnesota has to offer, or just some good old Minnesota family fun activities in the sun – St. Paul’s Grand Old Day is the place to be!

The festival features 4 “districts,” along Grand Avenue, stretching from Fairview Avenue to Dale Street. With the Family Fun Activites District, the Art District, the Sporting District, and the Entertainment District, it is one of the best Twin Cities events for people of all ages and tastes.
