"The Midwest’s largest plant-based festival returns to St. Paul when the 10th annual Twin Cities Veg Fest pops up at Harriet Island Park. In 2012, the event drew 1,200 people; over the past decade, it’s grown to welcome more than 100 vendors and 10,000 festivalgoers interested in plant-based eating and living." - Susan B. Barnes

"Eating meat not your thing? Or maybe you’re looking to take a break it? Doesn’t really matter who you are because the Twin Cities Veg Fest is an awesome opportunity to gather with other sustainability-minded folk and nosh on delicious foods that also happen to be (relatively) good for you. Last year’s Veg Fest attracted over a hundred vendors and thousands of attendees so expect the same this year, if not more." - Matt Gundrum

Harriet Island regional park is always a great place to enjoy a relaxing stroll with the dogs. There are also many amenities available for all types of activities. They have barbecue grills, picnic tables, tons of green space to fly a kite or a game of frisbee. There is a well maintained playground for the kids too. The bike/walking trail runs through here. You can get just about anywhere in the metro on that trail. The paddleboats take off from here on wonderful river rides. They have midday rides that anyone can afford. As well as beautiful sunset rides for a romantic evening. We are all very lucky to have such a nice place right in the middle of our city.

Walking across the Wabasha Street Bridge provides beautiful views, though it can get quite hot 🫠. From this park, you can also catch a lovely glimpse of the Saint Paul cityscape.

Love walking here! Especially the day after a snowfall. The landscape and the view of downtown Saint Paul is stunning. The paths were clear for walking even in the winter. Highly recommend!!

Well-organized event - Minnesota Yacht Club Festival, beautiful views of the rolling hills, great sound, easy to enter and exit with little to no bottlenecking. My biggest complaint: any employee that i asked about exits or Rideshare pickup, said they honestly had no idea 😣 This is a problem!

Beautiful park on the Mississippi River. Nice walking, biking and rolling paths, picnic tables and restrooms. Great location for family events. Paddle boat rides. Bike the trail along the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers to Mendota, or loop to the South St Paul Trails.

Lake Harriet, while a neighbor to Lake Bde Maka Ska, has an entirely different vibe. Harriet is tucked away on the eastern side of Linden Hills. The paths are a little quieter than its neighbor and the public tends to trend a bit older and less diverse. The bandshell often features live music and there’s a great concession area near it offering some good food and beverage options.

Harriet Island Regional Park is one of my favorite places to get away in the city of St. Paul. I ride my bike here often and it’s also one of my favorite places for photo sessions. The docks are very romantic and unique with the bed and breakfast and river boats lined up. You get really great views of Downtown Saint Paul as well as the Mississippi River. Make sure to check out Raspberry Island also as you are coming or going from the park, it’s also very unique and has some interesting views of the riverfront and downtown!

One of the most popular area parks, Harriet Island Park is chock full of amenities, including paddle-boat tours, a marina, and a large event center. It has many nice walking paths, and great views of downtown St. Paul. Harriet Island was an actual island until the 1950’s, when the east channel was filled in for some reason.
