Weekend options: Glow-in-the-dark sledding

December 27, 2019 at 5:15PM

Daniel Gangi, 6, of St. Paul Park, got some sledding advice from his father before going down the hill behind St. Paul Park City Hall Wednesday night. More than 100 young sledders took part in St. Paul’s “Glow in the Dark” sledding event behind St. Paul Park City Hall on Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2016. Despite icy conditions on the hill, children decorated their sleds with lights and glow in the dark accessories with an award going to the best-dressed sledder and decorated sled.

Glow-in-the-dark sledding

The dark winter sky and crisp night air beckon for the nocturnal to hit the slopes. Grab your sled for a moonlight ride down the hill behind St. Paul Park's City Hall as it becomes illuminated with lights. To make things a bit more interesting, the city challenges sledders to decorate their sleds. Concessions will be available for participants to nosh on as they warm up by the bonfire. (5-7 p.m. Sat. Free. 600 Portland Av., St. Paul Park. stpaulpark.org.)
