Summer Solstice and Wooden Boat Festival
North House Folk School
Grand Marais, Minnesota
June 20–22, 2025
This tradition-minded craft school on the North Shore of Lake Superior offers instruction not only in boatbuilding but in making jewelry from pebbles, Newfoundland-style knitting, and much more. When the sun stands still in the sky this June, they’ll welcome the public for three days of crafting, paddling, and community by the big lake.
