So many people both inside and outside of Minnesota seem to think St Paul is some sleepy little town with nothing going on. Well I am here to tell you differently. In reality, Saint Paul is a thriving metropolis of industry, the arts, fine dining and wonderful events.

I think this image alone will give you an idea of how active this great city is.

With the Great Mississippi River flowing through this city, St Paul has all the history and charm of a great river city. Note all the barges in this image this gives you just a small hint of all the river activity going on both commercial and entertainment level. There happens to be a large bustling marina over on the right side of the river on this image. There are a few brave people who actually live on the river all year long in their boats of various sizes.

Red Bull Events in St Paul

For some reason Red Bull seems to love the city of St Paul. They have had their incredible Crashed Ice event at the Cathedral here in St Paul. It always seems to be incredibly cold but also incredibly well attended.

It is certainly one of the two most astounding pieces of Architecture in the state next to the capital and it certainly ranks very highly in the entire nation as well.

St Paul Events

Due to St Paul’s large Irish population, St Paul becomes ground zero for all kinds of incredible Irish festivals. You have St Patrick’s Day parade, one of the best in the country. You have an Irish Music Festival and of course in Irish Dance Festival.
