It’s mint to be: St. Johns Mint Festival is back

Downtown St. Johns invites those of all ages to come celebrate the town’s rich Mint heritage. Known as the “Mint City,” this annual celebration is filled with activities. The festival kicks off with a 4v4 soccer showdown, with the winning team securing bragging rights. Friday and Saturday will feature craft shows, bingo (with prizes), live music, and a retro arcade, along with food and beverage trucks.

Saturday is the biggest day of the festival, with the Grand Mint Parade and car show both scheduled that morning and afternoon. The parade will highlight community groups, marching bands, the Mint Queen and her court, and over a hundred unique floats.

A breakfast fundraiser on Sunday wraps up the celebration.
