Get outside and search for hidden gnomes in the Gnomesgiving Gnome Search in New Brighton!
Wouldn’t it be fun to go on a Gnome search, maybe in the woods? Check out this fun event taking place in New Brighton.
The Gnomesgiving Gnome Hunt takes place November 19th to December 3rd, 2025 in New Brighton. The fun event will takes place in the newly reconstructed Silver Oaks Park.
This is a fun outdoor activity for small kids and maybe even multiple generations – perhaps make a game out of it. Although it would be fun to touch them, this event is simply for fun and viewing and not touching.
Enjoy a bit of a scavenger hunt knowing there are 15 Gnomes hidden around the newly reconstructed Silver Oaks Park. You can also take a picture or selfie with one of the gnomes and post on Facebook with the hashtag #newbrightongnomes to be entered into a drawing to win a prize. Submissions can also be emailed to parks@newbrightonmn.gov
If you’re like me and aren’t familiar with New Brighton, you can find the park at 350 Oakwood Drive New Brighton, MN 55112.
NOTE: Please do not touch, take, or move the gnomes.
We always enjoy winter and snow but are hoping the snow will hold off a bit, especially for an event like this to make the path a little easier to navigate for all ages.
If you know of any other fun events like this, or fun traditions you do this time of year, let us know so that we can share with our readers.
