I'm pretty sure every one of us has wanted to go to the North pole at least once in our lives. Maybe to be an elf, see the reindeer, or just to visit Santa's shop. As far fetched at the idea is, downtown Minneapolis has tried bringing that dream to life. Last year we said goodbye to our traditional Holidazzle parade, and replaced it with the Holidazzle village.
I have not been yet, but the village seems like a lot of fun. You pay one small fee of $3-6 and get access throughout the season. The Holiday Market has a variety of unique gifts featured each night. There are bands and choirs to sing along to each half hour (probably the only place you can sing as loudly as you want without the judgement). And the featured Holidazzle light bulbs are back from the parade, wandering around the streets.
Each weekend has a new activity. You can take part in dog sledding, ice skating, fireworks, or watch a glass blowing demonstration. The best part hasn't even been said yet. There are real, live reindeer to visit. How cute would that be for a family picture?! Honestly, you don't have to go far to find the festivities in Minnesota. And I'm fortunate enough to have it in such a close distance. For some holiday fun for your family and friends, find some cool winter activities near you!
