Midwinter Celebration

Overview

Join us for an enchanting evening at Franconia’s second annual Midwinter Celebration! Inspired by the rich traditions of the old Scandinavian Yule holiday, this event promises to be a magical experience. Enjoy a tasting from Uncommon Loon Brewing, get a personalized tarot reading, try your hand at art projects curated by Franconia staff, and indulge in a delightful grazing table. Venture outside to the warmth of a bonfire, casting a soft glow over the landscape, and embark on a lantern-lit sculpture tour, where art comes to life beneath the winter night sky. Join us in celebrating the season’s spirit with an evening filled with art, music, and the camaraderie of community.

Other happenings at the Midwinter Celebration:

- Telescopes for a stunning night sky viewing from the MN Astronomical Society

- Grooving to the beats of DJ ESP (Woody McBride) spinning tunes all evening

- Activities including tarot readings (limited slots), candlelight tours, beading, and block printing

- Reception for our current gallery show, Inside/Outside, with a toast to its incredible run
