Bidding is open for the first annual handmade silent auction!

Presented in partnership with Maker’s North.

NLFB has launched a massive silent auction of handmade goods and local experiences. Check it out for one-of-kind items!

Every year, Northern Lights Festival Boréal presents a curated selection of highly acclaimed artists, creates valuable exposure and career development opportunities for emerging artists and features strong components of francophone, Indigenous and multicultural content to over 10,000 attendees.

NLFB is a grassroots effort with our small team managing every aspect – from fundraising and event management to the careful selection of our artists. Your donation would go towards making this year’s event a reality!
