To help you navigate the festival’s more than 80 activities, we’ve made a few themed routes for you to follow. Detours are encouraged.

Take me to the river.

The Mississippi River is an ever-present feature of Saint Paul. These projects reference, honor, re-imagine and call our careful attention to the great river road.

Play me some of that old-fashioned music.

Rock the night away or sing your heart out at all sorts of musical numbers.

I’ve got kids.

Parenting is often an all-night task. Let the kids stay up past their bedtime (and yours) and catch these pre-festival and kid-friendly happenings.

Travel.

With Saint Paul’s Union Depot as a major hub of this year’s festival, many projects center around the theme of travel. Employing trains, buses, rockets, interaction and imagination, these projects will transport you across time and space.

 

Stay tuned for more themed routes and suggested tours.
