INCREDIBLY ENTERTAINING.RUGGEDLY OUTDOORSY.UNEXPECTEDLY COSMOPOLITAN.

PAUL MASON BARNESA founding Producing Director of Winona’s Great River Shakespeare Festival; Award-winning theatre director

MUST-DO: Time at or on the Mississippi River, getting out in a Wenonah kayak or canoe — or a boat of any kind, really — and feeling the transformative power of the Mississippi surge throughout my physical and spiritual being is not to be missed.

WHAT DOES YOUR PERFECT WINONA DAY INCLUDE?

“There are an infinite number of pleasures to behold in Winona, from the collection of restored Victorian architecture to the sheer beauty of the Bluffs.”
