More Than a Place — It’s an Experience

Experience St. Peter highlights what makes downtown special. From seasonal ticketed events to sharing community happenings hosted by local businesses, we connect people to moments worth showing up for.

Set along the Minnesota River, St. Peter is a beautiful place to explore — whether you’re stopping in for the afternoon, planning a day trip, or making a weekend of it. Experience St. Peter invites you to slow down, explore downtown, and enjoy the charm of our community.

Community Spotlights

Downtown St. Peter is full of people creating experiences worth sharing. Community Spotlights highlight events, activities, and happenings hosted by local businesses and organizations throughout the year.

These events are hosted independently — we’re simply helping spread the word.
