The holiday spirit usually gets fired up when events pop up around the area.  And this event, Glow Holiday Festival is now in its 5th year.  It's one of those great, feel good, happy family events that you can experience during the holidays.

Featuring over a million lights, the Enchanted Forest, Vixen’s Zip Line, and Giant Slide, GLOW is a must-see experience. The elves have been busy gussying up the place with new exhibits to make sure your holidays are shiny & bright.

Glow Holiday Festival begins this Thursday, November 21st, a week before Thanksgiving, and will run through January 5th, 2025.  So, if your holiday season is too busy to make it to the event, you will still have an opportunity after the holidays.

Tickets are on sale now, and range in price from $12.75 for kids 3-12 years old, and $21.75 for adults.  You can buy for a group with up to 10 tickets.  Also, the tickets for the event will be staggered  You can buy tickets for each hour starting at 5pm, then 6pm, 7pm and 8pm.  There will be a limited number of tickets for each time slot.  What's nice about that is that there won't (hopefully) be a giant hold up as you experience the event.

Glow has moved from the Minnesota State Fairgrounds to CHS field which is the same field as the St Paul Saints play.  If you need directions to the event, you can get those, along with any other questions you may have on the Glow website.  And new this year, if you feel like traveling to the Chicagoland area, Glow Holiday Festival will also be in Joliet, Illinois.

Time to start planning your holiday fun, family events!
