About

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 annual 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 sale, film festival, speakers, and more, this is a classic event to welcome the start of the chilliest season.

The 2025 Winterers’ Gathering will welcome featured speaker Dr. Paul Bierman, a geoscientist, environmental historian, and writer focused on the interaction of people and Earth’s dynamic surface, especially in Greenland and other climate hotspots. Dr. Bierman will teach a workshop and offer a public talk Greenland’s Value is its Ice on Saturday, November 22 at 7pm.
