Taste of Minnesota - St. Paul's 4th of July Holiday Celebration

Capital City Partnership purchased the Taste of Minnesota festival in 1996 and has significantly expanded it, creating a wonderful family event held annually over the 4th of July. The festival is now the largest, free, family-friendly, outdoor festival in the state. Cornerstones of the festival include great food, show-stopping entertainment, and a nightly spectacular fireworks display. Over the past nine years, Capital City Partnership has earned a net income of over $2.4 million from the Taste of Minnesota, which has been reinvested in revitalizing and promoting the city.

The Taste of Minnesota is critical to helping fulfill Capital City Partnership's mission to promote and market our Capital City and celebrate its diversity.
