The nation's oldest and largest winter festival is held over a ten-day period in late January-early February each year. King Boreas and his Vulcans reign over the fun. The Landmark Center and Rice Park in downtown St. Paul are home to the elaborate ice sculptures created each year. Special events include parades, a winter playground, a giant snow slide, an ice carving contest and a treasure hunt for the special Winter Carnival medallion, which is worth thousands of dollars to the winner. Many events are free to all.
