Celebrating art, community, and climate.
The Great Northern is an invitation to outdoor enthusiasts, film buffs, art lovers, foodies, families, visitors, and community members to engage and get together during an isolating part of the year.
While our next winter festival will take place January 29 - Feb 8, 2026, we’re not going anywhere! Take a look at our event calendar for a full list of our year-round events.
Join us on East Lake Street this summer!
Lake Street Lift and The Great Northern have partnered to support East Lake Street organizations, artists, and cultural leaders through the Festival Producer Incubator, as part of our shared commitment to community.
This program provides grants and mentorship to local festival organizers, delivering financial and operational resources for six Lake Street festivals taking place from May to July 2026. We invite you to join us at these participating festivals.
