presenting Northern Spark 2013 in Lowertown
Northern Spark is Tonight, Rain or (Moon)shine!
It's here! The hard work and creativity of more than 200 artists will be revealed tonight to thousands of enthusiastic festival attendees in Lowertown. We're so excited to share Northern Spark 2013 with you!
The weather here in Saint Paul continues to be wet, so we're ready to move some projects in case it rains during Northern Spark. Every project will be presented, regardless of rain, although some project locations may be adjusted to work with the weather. Volunteers will be ready to help you find projects that have moved.
We will be doing frequent updates on weather and all things Northern Spark on Twitter @Northern_Spark and and on our FB page.
If it does rain, be sure to wear your rain gear and bring your sense of adventure. After all, what else brings Minnesotans together like a little bit of weather?
