Take in the Beauty of MN. 3 Great Outdoor Candlelight Events

It's starting to get a little more brisk and chilly here in Minnesota. We had a very mild December but you know it has to get colder at some point, right? But that doesn't mean you need to stay indoors. There's so much to choose from and it's good to get out into nature!

I think the nighttime candlelight walks/ snowshoe/ ski events are so beautiful so I wanted to highlight a few for your to enjoy! Just bookmark this page so you can go back and check as each new event comes up.
