BEAR’ly Open

Brace yourself for a winter wonderland adventure like no other! The annual BEAR’ly Open Golf on Ice Event is back, turning White Bear Lake into a frozen fairway. Grab your most creative “golf club”—a hockey stick, broom or even a snow shovel—and hit the frozen links. Prizes will be awarded for Best Costume, Best Sled and Best Tent. Not a fan of the cold? This frosty fun fest also includes an online auction and a pre-party the night before with live music, games and activities, tasty treats and a cash bar. Tickets are on sale at bearlyopen.org. The BEAR’ly Open is an official event of the 2026 Saint Paul Winter Carnival.
