Peony Market Weekend | St. Joseph, MN

Things to do in St. Joe

Peony Market brings you to St. Joe. We hope the rest of St. Joe gives you a reason to stay.

This small town just west of St. Cloud has a charming historic downtown full of coffee shops, restaurants, breweries and boutiques, plus trails, college campuses and fall color just minutes away. Whether you're here for an afternoon or the whole weekend, here's how to make the most of your visit.

Start with coffee

Nothing kicks off a Market morning like a good coffee in hand.

Pro tip: Market mornings get busy. Grab your coffee a little early, or plan a mid-morning coffee break to recharge between shopping stops.

Grab a bite

All that shopping works up an appetite. Refuel at one of St. Joe's local spots for lunch, dinner or a long, lingering meal with your shopping crew.

Raise a glass

Wrap up your Market day the right way. Toast your finds, compare purchases and let the day wind down over drinks.

Keep shopping local

The Market isn't the only place to shop small in St. Joe. Downtown is home to local shops and boutiques that make this town special year-round.

Get outside

It's fall in Minnesota, so take advantage of it. Walk off lunch, catch the colors and enjoy some fresh air between stops.

  • Lake Wobegon Trail

    Right in town

    A paved trail that runs right through St. Joseph. Perfect for a walk or bike ride through the fall colors.

  • College of Saint Benedict

    Right in town

    Take a stroll around the campus, just steps from downtown.

  • Saint John's Abbey + Arboretum

    About 10 minutes away

    Wooded trails, lakes and the striking Abbey church in nearby Collegeville. A beautiful quiet walk after a busy weekend.
