Make your way to Harriet Island during August to witness the greenest weekend in Saint Paul at the Irish Fair of Minnesota. Just like St. Patrick’s Day, this fair brings out the Irish in everyone. Come by for music, food, drink and workshops—all designed to share the Irish culture. The proceeds of this festival benefit the new (non-Irish) immigrant projects and other Irish cultural activities throughout the year.
Church members and visitors alike are welcome to visit the Cathedral of Saint Paul. This National Shrine of the Apostle Paul is one of the most distinctive cathedrals in the United States, and is dedicated to the saint after which the city of Saint Paul is named. Constructed in 1904 by the chief architect of the St. Louis World’s Fair, this distinctive cathedral features beautiful art and architectural designs.
Saint Paul’s oldest surviving theater, the Fitzgerald Theater has been around since 1910. Once famous for screening foreign films, nowadays Minnesota Public Radio owns the Fitz. You may be familiar with their most popular show, A Prairie Home Companion, which is heard all over the nation. In addition to this radio show, the Fitz hosts all sorts of Broadway musicals, vaudeville shows, film festivals, concerts, and other entertainment.
