So you want something to do Friday night, but you don’t have any money. Well, fear no more, my friends! Here are some fun winter festivities that are absolutely free!

1. Sledding: The winter classic, this activity will surely bring out the inner child. There are lots of parks nearby that have hills, but you could even do this in your backyard. Invite a couple of friends over and set out some mugs of hot chocolate. Make a cozy night out of the wintery goodness outside!
2. Holidazzle Village: Bummed that the Holidazzle Parade isn’t running this year? Well here’s something even better: From November 28 to the end of December, Holidazzle Village will be running along Nicollet Mall every weekend. Whether it’s date night, family night, or a night out with friends, you are bound to have fun!
3. Miller Park Ice Castle: Remember that one year MOA had that awesome ice castle during the wintertime? Well this year, they’re going to build one in Eden Prairie’s very own Miller Park! It opens on December 26 and will stay open until March 2015, if weather permits.

With these totally free and awesome attractions, your winter is for sure going to be eventful. If you do any of these, be sure to tweet a picture @MtkaBreezes on Twitter!
