GLOW Holiday Festival is back in St. Paul from Nov. 23, 2022 – Jan. 1, 2023! This year they’re at CHS Field, and you can get discounted tickets!
The last two years Glow Holiday Festival definitely cheered us all up during the pandemic, and I’m so glad it’s back.
The first year, 2020, it was a drive-thru, then it became a walk-thru event in 2021.
This year again it’s in-person. So you can walk around the winter wonderland.
And again, you pay per person.
Tickets are:
Adults $20.75
Kids (ages 4 – 12) $12.75
Kids 3 and under – FREE
NOTE – I noticed that they changed the age for kids that are free. Last year it was ages 4 and under, this year it’s 3 and under.
When you purchase on their website, you also pay ticketing fees ($3.00 per ticket plus tax), but you can skip the ticketing fees and get them CHEAPER on Groupon!
Here you can see the ticketing fee and taxes:
Groupon is offering 24% off PLUS you don’t have to pay the fees!
On Groupon, you can get adult tickets for $17.75 and kids 4 -12 are $9.75.

Also, there is a Black Friday deal through November 27th. You can save $5 per ticket with code HIGHFIVE, but you still have to pay ticketing fees and taxes.
