About

Here in Minnesota, kids get a long weekend in October known to most as “MEA.” Use that school break for a family folk school break and come on up to Grand Marais for Family Weekend at North House Folk School, October 16 - 19, 2025. Fall weather, apple cider, and families learning crafts of all kinds on the shore of Lake Superior—what could be better?! 

During Family Weekend, which coincides with Grand Marais' annual Moose Madness Family Festival, over a dozen classes are on offer, some for kids only, others for adults and kids to take together. From cooking to fiber arts, woodworking to blacksmithing, there is a skill to learn for everyone. The weekend includes both formal classes that require registration ahead of time as well as drop-in activities and evening programs that are free and require no pre-registration.
