Each week, kick off your tour at St. Cloud Main Street (903 Pennsylvania Ave), where you’ll pick up a special map that leads you on a delightful stroll through the heart of the city. The map will guide you to different storefronts of participating businesses, with each stop revealing a page of an exciting story! Explore the town, enjoy some shopping, and read along at your own pace—but make sure you don’t miss out on the grand finale every Saturday
