Granite City Days in Saint Cloud
Granite City Days is Saint Cloud's annual late-June community festival, named for the city's granite-quarrying heritage. Organized by the City of St. Cloud, it runs from Thursday through Sunday with a symphony concert, an art fair, a downtown grand parade, and a closing African arts festival at Lake George, confirmed as an active, currently running event.
Granite City Days takes its name from Saint Cloud's long identity as the Granite City, a nickname earned from the area's extensive granite quarries that once supplied building stone across the country.
