The Minnesota State Fairgrounds Will Be Aglow For The Holidays

You and your family and friends will now have another option to check out some beautiful holiday lights and have some delicious State Fair Food to boot. Last year was the first year of the GLOW Holiday Festival, but due to the height of the pandemic visitors had to check out the displays from the inside of their vehicles, but this year will be different.

This year the festival has been set up as a walk through event only, giving visitors the opportunity to see interactive displays, art installations, and illuminated trees giving you an up close and personal view of the lights. According to Bring Me The News "Among the light attractions will include a 60-foot tall illuminated tree and Santa Land, which includes the original 20-foot display from the former Dayton's department store, a Gingerbread House, and a three-story lighted GLOW Palace."
