Tickets & Information


Winterfest 2012 is SOLD OUT!


  • Date: Friday, February 3, 2012
  • Time: 7-10 pm
  • Ticket Price: $55 _ WINTERFEST 2012 is SOLD OUT
  • Location: MN History Center | 345 Kellogg Boulevard West | St. Paul, MN 55102

Tickets go on sale Thursday, December 1st at 12pm (noon) CST. Due to venue, food and entertainment costs, we only have one price level for this event and ticket sales are limited to an intimate 700 (limit 4 per purchaser). This has been a sell out event for the last several years so be advised that due to demand we cannot guarantee tickets even if you attempt to purchase right at noon. We have done everything in our power to make this process as fair as possible, but it turns out to be somewhat of a natural online lottery. If you experience any difficulty with the website going active at noon, try clearing your browser’s cache as this has been an issue for some in years past.

Thank you for your support, we look forward to serving you samples of the best beer our state has to offer and as always please plan ahead for transportation.


This is a 21+ event, please bring your ID with you to the door.
