GLOW Holiday Festival is Back in Minnesota

GLOW is coming back to Minnesota this holiday season! If I'm remembering correctly, the first year they did GLOW here it was at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. But last year they moved it to CHS Field in St. Paul.

I went to GLOW with my husband and my family last year. Let me tell you, it really is very bright! There are so many lights, displays, and things to do. There's food to eat, drinks to try, an ice slide, a maze, a zipline, and it's all outside, so dress appropriately!

This is an especially fun event for families with kids. There are tons of things for kids to do there.

Where is GLOW in Minnesota for 2024?

For the 2024 season, GLOW has decided to stay at the home of the St. Paul Saints, CHS Field.

Another is the week of Christmas and New Year's, they'll be open every day those weeks except for Christmas Day and New Year's Day.

The last day of GLOW for this holiday season is Sunday, January 5th. For all of the days that they're open, they're open 5 PM - 9 PM.
