ST PAUL, Minn. — The holidays seem a long way away on an 80-degree October day, but this is Minnesota... and it could theoretically snow tomorrow.
In fact, in just a month's time, St. Paul's CHS Field will be transformed into a wintry wonderland for the return of the GLOW Holiday Festival. From Nov. 21 through Jan. 5, visitors to this walk-through event will encounter millions of twinkling lights, whimsical sculptures and festive activities like a giant slide, zip line, and the sElfie Plaza photo backdrop. Here are a few of the highlights.
GLOW Spectacular - A dazzling light and music show set to holiday tunes repeats every 20 minutes. Watch the entire stadium light up in a synchronized dance of color and sound.
Tremendous Tree – At the heart of GLOW stands a 60-foot programmable tree, lighting up the night sky with an ever-changing display of holiday colors. The Tremendous Tree serves as the centerpiece for the GLOW Spectacular.
Giant Snowy Slide – Thrill-seekers can zoom down a massive 120-foot snowy slide while enjoying sweeping views of the illuminated St. Paul cityscape.
Vixen’s Zip Line – Guests experience a seasonal thrill as they soar high above the display of millions of lights. Two people can simultaneously glide along two separate 300-foot lines suspended 34 feet in the air above CHS's outfield.
Penguin Playground – The ultimate winter playground for children and teens, featuring light-up seesaws, swings and climbing structures.
This is the 5th anniversary of GLOW coming to the Twin Cities. In four year's time the festival has donated more than $350,000 to local charities by sharing $1 from every ticket sold.
Tickets are $21.75 for adults 13 and up, $12.75 for children ages 4-12. Those 3 and under get in free. The Giant Snow Slide and Vixen's Zipline Experience require an additional fee.
