ice wall – Rice Park
It is Winter carnival time and I am looking forward to a weekend full of carnival events in addition to house hunting with clients and putting a new listing on the market. There are a ton of events this weekend. I plan on watching the parade and I will probably check out the ice carving contest in Rice Park. The winter carnival grand day parade starts at 2:00 this afternoon but the route is a little different this year because of construction downtown. The parade will start on the corner of Smith Avenue and West 7th and go east and end at 5th and Market street downtown otherwise known as Rice Park. The official map states that the parade will disperse on Kellogg Blvd., yet they show the parade route ending at Rice park.
Parade Route
If you don’t know the area watch the signs because parking on the street requires a permit. There is a huge parking lot next to the Xcel center, and there is the Xcel center ramp and the ramp at the six street station.
