Winterer’s Gathering & Arctic Film Festival

Winter is the longest and most defining season in the North. With snowy days and dark nights, this season is a time both for outdoor adventure and for gathering to share traditions, meals, and stories.

The Winterers’ Gathering & Arctic Film Festival at North House Folk School in Grand Marais celebrates the crafts, customs, history, and stories that have been inspired by winter. Featuring winter-centric coursework, a winter tent camp, gear swap, film festival, speakers, and more, this is a classic event to

 

This year’s featured speaker is Tim Cahill. His talk 50 Years of Adventure Travel will chronicle his life as the least competent adventurer of his generation.  From his seminal role in founding Outside Magazine to his recently reported “death” in the Grand Canyon on the Colorado River, Cahill delights in telling odd and offbeat stories. Join us in the Red Building and online Saturday, November 18th at 7:00pm.

Glensheen Mansion: Spirit of the Lights

Glensheen Mansion: Spirit of the Lights

Glensheen Mansion

Glensheen’s outdoor light display, Spirit of the Lights, and Christmas Candlelight Tours in the mansion will be offered every Friday & Saturday night in March. ⁠


Even though the typical holiday season is over, we threw out the rule book on Christmas and have extended the holiday tour season.⁠ Due to COVID closures, we weren’t able to offer our popular Christmas Candlelight tours and outdoor light display, Spirit of the Lights to the public this past December. ⁠So here’s your chance!⁠

Spirit of the Lights is an outdoor light display that originated on Park Point at the home of Marcia Hales. The display is celebrated for its intimate and natural feel. Many of the motifs and displays are in memory of individuals or in recognition of meaningful moments. The display sprawls across Glensheen’s 12-acre lakeside estate, magically illuminating the grounds. Many of the display’s pathways will remain unplowed, making a nighttime snowshoe experience the perfect way to enhance Spirit of the Lights. Glensheen has snowshoes available for free rental.

Due to daylight saving time, there will be various event times:

  • March 21st – April 4th (Fri & Sat)
  • Spirit of the Lights entry 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm (presale only)
  • Candlelight Tour entry 7:30pm – 8:30pm
