Make your way to Harriet Island during August to witness the greenest weekend in Saint Paul at the Irish Fair of Minnesota. Just like St. Patrick’s Day, this fair brings out the Irish in everyone. Come by for music, food, drink and workshops—all designed to share the Irish culture. The proceeds of this festival benefit the new (non-Irish) immigrant projects and other Irish cultural activities throughout the year.
Catch a performance by local acting troupes at the intimate Gremlin Theatre. Just a stone’s throw from the University of Minnesota, this quality theater space strives to provide an enjoyable theatrical experience for the Twin Cities community by making the entertainment venue accessible to all.
Church members and visitors alike are welcome to visit the Cathedral of Saint Paul. This National Shrine of the Apostle Paul is one of the most distinctive cathedrals in the United States, and is dedicated to the saint after which the city of Saint Paul is named. Constructed in 1904 by the chief architect of the St. Louis World’s Fair, this distinctive cathedral features beautiful art and architectural designs.
