Grand Old Day History

St. Paul's Grand Old Day has marked the start of the summer activities and events in Minnesota since 1973, and is produced by the Grand Avenue Business Association as its annual fundraiser. Monies collected at the event go towards bringing attention to the wonderful shops and restaurants on Grand Ave to support local business, annual events, business-to-business opportunities, as well as maintenance and upkeep to preserve the beauty of Grand Avenue in St. Paul MN - an important piece of our state's history. When you are looking for things to do in the Twin Cities, remember Grand Ave and all we have to offer.
