Inspired by her own experience at the Great Northern Festival in 2022, Nina Graham bought her first pair of snow pants and began a relationship with winter. The Great Northern Festival is coming for you too. Celebrate winter culture in Minnesota with ten days of art, dance, sports, talks, family events and parties- so many parties. This event might deepen your relationship or even begin a love affair with winter inspiring you to take action to protect our Minnesota winters from climate change.

Born in Southern California, Anna Lowenthal Walsh has discovered a love for the bitter cold winters of Northern Minnesota. An artist and woodworker, she draws inspiration from her own corner of the wilderness near Ely. Her following now includes students learning her craft. Listen and be inspired!
