GLOW Holiday Festival is back again at CHS Field in St. Paul this year!

Glow Holiday Festival Minnesota.

Our oh-so-lovely weather here in Minnesota typically means we spend a lot of time inside during the fall and winter. But sometimes you just need to bundle up and get outside to see some amazing sights!

GLOW Holiday Festival is back again at CHS Field! This is a walk-through experience in which you can enjoy the amazing holiday lights up close and in person.

GLOW Holiday Festival will run from November 21, 2024, through January 5, 2025.

This is an outdoor event with a limited hourly capacity.

    I reserved a spot for one car on 12/6/20 at 9:45 pm and did not receive the e-mail confirming the reservation. I am concerned since the reservation was made by CC. Also, isn’t there a promo code for the GLOW Holiday Festival?

      Hi, Paulette. There is a help button at the top of the GLOW website that answers common questions and lets you request help as well. We’re not aware of any promo code that’s still valid.

    I tried buying tickets from Groupon and their link to redeem the tickets does not work. I bought my tickets on the 21st and when I click on the link, it only offers unavailable tickets for Nov 18th, three days earlier. Here is the link – did anyone get it to work? https://www.universe.com/events/glow-2021-test-tickets-saint-paul-VFJ827

    I’d like to go tonight, but Groupon online “help” is not helpful – they keep saying they are ‘working on it’….

    On the GLOW website it says that entry times are reserved every hour. Groupon is selling the tickets for less the price, but says no reservation required. I don’t want to take my birthday group of 11year old girls there, and get turned away for purchasing tickets on Groupon without a reservation time, but the discount is unbeatable. Which site do you recommend I use?

      Hi, Irene. I checked with GLOW and they responded:
      “Groupon tickets are good for any date or time. Simply show up to the ballpark at your prefered time with your barcode and you will be all set.

      Cheers,
      GLOW Holiday Team”

    How does it work with the Groupon tickets that you can show up at any time if there is a timed entry by the hour? I’d be concerned I’d buy the Groupon and show up and it wouldn’t be valid because I didn’t reserve a time.
