About this event

ABOUT THE CRUISE

Join us for our 23rd Annual Benefit Dinner Cruise honoring all Military Veterans. Boarding starts at 4:30 P.M., boat leaves dock at 5:45 P.M., and is scheduled to return to dock at 8:00 P.M.

Cruise on the largest St. Croix Boat & Packet vessel the “Avalon Paddlewheel” from Stillwater on the beautiful St. Croix River. Enjoy our programing including guest speaker Randal Dietrich, the Executive Director of the MN Military & Veterans Museum, delicious buffet dinner, cash bar, incredible raffles and conversations with our veterans. Also, all guests will receive one raffle ticket with their event ticket.

All proceeds from our annual benefit cruise goes toward the maintenance of our memorial and directly supports annual Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies and other on-site programming.

Bring the entire family for a great evening.

Our complimentary tickets for Veterans are now available (up to 70) and we will have additional tickets available for Veteran’s at a discounted price of $15 after the free tickets are claimed. Please be respectful of our veterans and only claim a Veterans ticket if you truly are a Veteran. All other guests are $35 per ticket for adults and $15 per ticket for children 17 and under. Please note that all Non-Veterans or their Guests are not complementary due to costs. We sincerely hope you can still attend – please reach out to us if you are bringing a Veteran and need assistance attending due to cost, we will try our best to accommodate you. Have the means to sponsor a ticket? Add a donation to your checkout!
