The Danish concept of "hygge" (pronounced hoo-gah) has been around for a long time. It refers to the ritual of embracing life’s simple pleasures. Feeling relaxed, cozy and surrounded by the warmth of family, friends, community and fire all encompass the idea of hygge.

6 p.m. - Fire in the Village -  Grand Marais, MN
North Shore Music Association & WTIP have partnered to present Fire in the Village, a night of art, music, and community gathering featuring music from Anishinaabe artist and activist Annie Humphrey, backed by Sean Carey (Bon Iver) and Jeremy Ylvisaker (Suburbs) at the Community Center 4H Log Cabin in Grand Marais. The evening starts with a 6-7pm Social Hour with printmaking activity, followed by 7pm Upcycled Fashion Show and 7:30pm Music! Fire in the Village is a collective of artists and cultural organizers based in Anishinaabe territory (rural northern Minnesota). They focus on creating and sustaining "spiritual fires of connection" through poetry, music, storytelling, printmaking, mural arts, dancing, and nourishment. Rooted in the belief that everyone carries a piece of the sacred story (aadizookaan), their work fosters relationships and highlights our deep connection to the earth, each other, and ourselves.
