© SARAH DOPE || https://www.sarahdope.com

GLOW Holiday Festival is back in St. Paul from Nov. 16, 2023 – December 31, 2023! This year they’re back at CHS Field, and you can get discounted tickets!

Glow Holiday Festival started during the pandemic, and definitely helped cheer us up during those challenging years. The first year, 2020, it was a drive-thru, then it became a walk-thru event in 2021, and has been walk-thru since.

And this year it’s back with more including ZIPLINES!

Check out this amazing drone video from 2022:

 

Tickets are the same price as last year:

Adults $20.75
Kids (ages 3 – 12) $12.75
Kids 2 and under – FREE

NOTE – I noticed that they keep lowering the age for kids that are free. In 2021 it was ages 4 and under, in 2022 year it was 3 and under, and this year it’s 2 and under. 

The Giant Snowy Slide and Zipline cost extra.

When you purchase on their website, you also pay ticketing fees ($3.00 per ticket plus tax), but you can skip the ticketing fees and get them CHEAPER on Groupon!

Tickets on Groupon are $17.75 for adults (14% off) and $9.75 for children (24% off).

And no fees!

GET DISCOUNTED TICKETS ON GROUPON HERE!!

Also watch for a Black Friday deal – last year they had $5 off per ticket.

Navigating all the Black Friday deals can be so overwhelming (especially since many start early!). That’s why I’m excited to offer a Black Friday Price Comparison Sheet for you again! Last year there were over 3000 items and there are already hundreds so far.

Practically EVERYTHING is on this list!

  • Household – small appliances, towels, vacuums, etc.
  • Music, Movies & Books
  • Video Games
  • Personal Care
  • Toys
  • and so much more!

  • Use “CTRL F” and type in a keyword (aka: iPad) to quickly find what you’re looking for on this huge spreadsheet!
  • Depending on your screen size, you may need to scroll side to side to see the prices and content on the right side of the spreadsheet.
  • NOTE: This is a NATIONAL list, so some stores like BJ’s may not be available near you. Most including Best Buy, Five Below, Walmart and Costco have locations in the Twin Cities area.
  • Links go to a website’s Black Friday page, and you’ll need to search there for the specific item.
