You can join in on the start of the festivities tonight at 5:00 for the official kickoff to the 128th Annual Winter Carnival with the Moon Glow Parade.  You are encouraged to bring your glow sticks, twinkling lights and whatever you can get to light it up.  There will be cookies and cocoa before the parade and the ice bar will be open after the parade to continue the festivities.

The Winter Carnival will continue for two weeks with all kinds of winter festivities.  Some of the fun includes the Beer Dabbler, a snow plow competition, ice sculpture contests, crowning of the Queen of Snow, a medallion hunt, live music, a kid's day, parades, and new this year..the snow slide, a 15 foot high, 110 foot long ride built on Harriet Island.  

You do not want to miss out on one of the Twin Cities favorite events.  You can learn more at the Winter Carnival Website, on Facebook, on Twitter and on YouTube.
