1199 Midway Parkway, Saint PaulJoin us for a social event celebration as we bid farewell to the year and welcome new beginnings! This is not just any social event—it's a carnival of fun, food, connections, and memories waiting to be made.
Grill & Chill
We'll be firing up the grill with all your favorites: juicy brats and mouth-watering burgers. But that's not all! We're inviting everyone to bring a side dish to share. Whether it's Aunt Sally's famous potato salad or your secret recipe coleslaw, let's make this a feast to remember!
Carousel Rides
Step right up and take a spin on the enchanting Cafesjians carousel, featuring the delightful tunes of the exceptional Wurlitzer 153 Band Organ! This historic gem will transport you back in time with its whimsical melodies and charming presence. Learn more about this musical marvel here. (Note: the carousel closes at 4:00pm)
For some added fun — and to hear how to pronounce “Cafesjians” — watch this three-minute YouTube video which highlights some history of the Como Carousel.
Bring your family, friends, and festive spirit! Let's make this end-of-year celebration one for the books. We can't wait to see you there!
