Tonight's the Night! Northern Spark 2014

Planning Your Night
 
With 125 projects and 505 minutes, there is a lot to see and experience at Northern Spark.

If you're the type of person who likes to show up and see where the night takes you - simply pick up a festival guidebook at one of the Info Hubs when you arrive at the festival. The guidebook describes each project and has a list of timed events, as well as information on where to find the amenities you need, such as bathrooms, first aid, and food.

Or, if you're the type of person who prefers to go with a game plan to maximize all 505 minutes before the Sunday morning pancake feed, check out the My Night feature.  My Night lets you assemble a list of projects that you want to see, including times and locations. Each event and project listing has a My Night button: click it to add to your list. When you’re done, print it, share it, or transfer it to the festival’s mobile app.

Weather Info

Northern Spark happens rain or (moon)shine.  Organizers are working to ensure that every project can be presented, although some project locations may be adjusted to work with the weather.

Volunteers will be ready with the latest information, and you can find weather and other last minute updates on Twitter @Northern_Spark and on the Facebook page.

If it does rain, be sure to wear your rain gear and bring your sense of adventure. Many festival projects already take place in sheltered locations, and after all, what else brings Minnesotans together like a little bit of weather?
