Red Bull Crashed Ice will kick off an exciting weekend in the Twin Cities. On Friday, the Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championship will return to Saint Paul for its seventh straight year. Like in years past, the event will take place on the front steps of the Cathedral of Saint Paul.

The downhill competition draws huge crowds every year. Fans watch skaters compete in a race to the bottom of a long, steep, and winding ice track. The event is free and open to the public.
