An Important Message from your friends at Project North
January, 2025
Project North 2024 marked our 4th year bringing this one-of-a-kind festival to life. Each year, we learned, adapted, grew, and sometimes shifted course—all in the pursuit of creating THE most unique festival experience in northern Wisconsin.
The dedicated teams at WXPR and ArtStart have worked tirelessly on this passion project, and while that passion remains strong, we’re taking a pause for 2025. That’s right, there won’t be a Project North Festival in 2025. We know how much you love Project North (we do too!), and we invite you to stay connected with us by getting involved with WXPR and ArtStart. Even without a festival, there are countless ways to share moments of art, music, and community through these organizations.
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey!
If you still have questions about Project North, reach out to someone on our team.

CREATE
Art is a very important component of Project North.
Here are a few things you can expect to see throughout the weekend: Hands-on art activities for all ages, public art projects, visual art installations, and more.
SUSTAIN
Project North is on the cutting edge of sustainable festivals and is a certified Near Zero Waste event.
Attendees can visit the Eco-Village filled with vendors promoting sustainable practices and products; and participate in educational opportunities to learn from environmental and sustainability experts in the Northwoods.
EAT
Come hungry. Project North will be featuring a variety of food inside the festival grounds.
And we'll be doing it sustainably, too:
