Fan of The Great Northern? Make it Official.

If you’ve ever…bundled up for a sauna session, danced in the snow, or braved the cold for climate talks or a pop-up dinner, you already get it.

This isn’t just a festival. It’s part of how we stay connected, even in colder climate! And it wouldn’t happen without people like you who show up, year after year, to make winter unforgettable. Now you can be part of the community that makes it all possible.

Your membership fuels access to free and low cost programming, artist creations, musical performances, and dance productions. It supports fair and equitable pay to artists, thought leaders and innovators, supports local businesses through venue, service and equipment fees and supports the workers we hire during the winter, contributing to a thriving MN.
