Staff and volunteers are putting the finishing touches down at the Grace Hartman Amphitheatre as the Northern Lights Festival Boreal is set to go this weekend.

The weekend will be filled with crafts, poetry, food for everyone…and of course the headlining acts.

The returning group Melbourne Ska Orchestra will lead the way on Friday for other headliners, Sarah Harmer Saturday night and Dan Mangan and the Blacksmith on Sunday.

Community Relations Assistant Felix Hallee-Theoret says it’s the atmosphere that has kept people coming back for over 40 years.

The festivities get underway at 6:30pm tomorrow and run all weekend at Bell Park, with night shows at the Towne House Tavern downtown.
