Northern Spark Memory Station

Thank you for being part of the life of Northern Spark! We are is building an archive of memories of our beloved, night-time arts festival. Northern Spark took place in June from 2011 – 2022 (except 2020). Please contribute to the collective history of this community event by sharing your memories!

With your permission, these stories will be included in the Northern Lights.mn Archive to be housed at the University of Minnesota’s Performing Arts Archive (and accessible by the public!) for “eternity.”

You may remain anonymous, or share you name. You can share as many memories as you wish by resubmitting the form.

You may also share your memory in person at the Northern Spark Memory Station at A night with the river on June 10.

Thank you!

*All memories will remain anonymous in the Archive unless you choose to include identifying information.

Accessibility note: At A night with the river this project will take place on grassy ground which may be uneven.
