Summer marks the high-season when you can explore local farmers' markets, flowers in full bloom, water activities, festivals, etc. The beautiful foliage during autumn will compel you to take a scenic ride to capture the changing colors of the season. Winters bring plenty of snowfall and blistering cold plus several winter events like downtown's Holidazzle Parade and St. Paul's Winter Carnival. It starts in late October and lasts until early April. Spring does not last for a long duration due to extended winters in the city but has pleasant weather to discover its hidden gems.
