The Great Northern is a weekend-long celebration of winter, climate, culture, and creativity taking place Jan 28 - Feb 1, 2026. Join us for groundbreaking climate conversations, a youth-led science fair, community arts, and outdoor adventures that make the most of Minnesota winters--from snowshoeing and fat biking to outdoor sauna sessions. And don’t miss the chance to experience the best of Minnesota’s food scene, with pop-up food events and a winter farmer’s market that showcases Minnesota’s growers, chefs, and makers.
