So… what’s your sign doing this weekend? Stillwater has a way of matching every mood, whether you’re chasing live music, a quiet glass of wine, or a day on the river. Your zodiac sign might not plan your calendar but it’s a pretty fun place to start. Pro tip: Try the event that isn’t your sign—you might discover a new favorite!
Aquarius marches to the beat of their own drum. They love the unexpected, unpredictable, and anything that challenges the norm. They are quirky, creative and unapologetic.
Your Stillwater vibe:
Stillwater’s unique mix of experiences will pair nicely with Aquarius. A date with a DIY project should be high on the list of things to do for this innovative air sign. Kari’s Create & Paint Studio, Smith + Trade Mercantile, Carpe Noctem Candles are some locations you can take a class, get your hands dirty and get inspired! A workshop at the Pole Barn studio should be added to your Stillwater agenda if you want to find that adventure that is a bit different from everyone else’s.
Whether Aquarius is creating something unique, trying something new or cruising around town on an electric bike (highly recommend!) they are discovering, exploring and ultimately finding the unexpected nuggets that make Stillwater special!
Pisces is dreamy and artistic, drawn to experiences that feel inspiring or peaceful. Soft-hearted and romantic, Pisces has a way of making life feel a little more magical.
Your Stillwater vibe:
Pisces are dreamers, artists and romantics at heart. They see the beauty in the small moments that others might overlook. Pisces will be drawn to acoustic music to help them slow down and find connection. They will thrive when trying a paint-and-sip class and let their creativity wander. They will find happiness in picking apples in the fall and taking in the beautiful surroundings of Aamodt’s Apple Farm.
In Stillwater, Pisces will also vibe in artistic spaces like Union Art Alley where colorful murals are on display and help bring the town to life. A quiet stroll along the river, sipping coffee while journaling, reading or watching the sun set on the St. Croix will turn seemingly ordinary moments into cherished memories.
Aries thrive on excitement, competition, and movement. Sitting still? Not their thing! They are bold, energetic, and love action.
Your Stillwater vibe:
Summer nights in Stillwater were made for Aries. Grab a spot at PD Pappy’s and enjoy live music right on the St. Croix River where the energy is high and engaging! Another great outdoor space that Aries will thrive is The Freight House. Live music, great views, cornhole and good food will greet you at this riverside restaurant.
When winter rolls around, Aries can enjoy some healthy competition at trivia nights around town. There are many places that host trivia nights where they can show off their quick thinking and friendly competitive side. If more active competition is called for, try the Lumberjack Sports Bar for axe-throwing, ping-pong, pinball, bubble hockey, and more! Winter in Stillwater is anything but boring!
Taurus is all about comfort, beauty, and indulgence. Think: good wine, great food, and a setting you don’t want to leave.
Your Stillwater vibe:
Fondue at Lowell Inn in an incredible experience! Not only is the food superb but the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Speaking of a setting you don’t want to leave, have you ever been on a gondola!?! We are so fortunately to have an authentic Venetian gondola right here in Stillwater. It’s a must to take in the beauty of the St. Croix River and allow time to slow down.
An event we would recommend for the Taurus is the Wine Meets Art Festival at Saint Croix Vineyards in the summer. Plan your trip around that event, and we promise you will love your time here! And if that particular date doesn’t work for you, visit several wineries in our area at your leisure. Fall is especially magical with vineyard views and crisp air, but cozy indoor tastings make this a year-round favorite. Find local wineries HERE.
Geminis love conversation and meeting new people. They are curious, social and talkative and thrive when there is variety and plenty of stimulation.
Your Stillwater vibe:
Gemini, grab your calendars and save the dates — you are going to be blown away by Stillwater’s festival lineup! Summer kicks off with the excitement of Lumberjack Days, fall brings the fun of Harvest Fest, and winter lights up with the World Snow Celebration.

Renting a boat is easy in Stillwater. And don’t forget those grab and go food items at River Market Co-op or E’s Gourmet Sandwiches!
