Light on Lake: A Celebration of Community
Saturday, November 21, 4-8pm
Rescheduled from January 2026. We can’t wait to finally celebrate with you!
Join us for a free community celebration kicking off Light on Lake, a one-night public art experience that turns Venture Bikes into an outdoor gallery of light and color. Light up your bike for the Glow Roll, meet the artists behind the work, and stay for their large-scale projection installations. It’s an evening of art, music, and community. Plus, we’ll be raffling off festival passes and TGN merch as we count down to our 10th anniversary winter festival!

Glow Roll
Bring your bike and light it up! From 4:00 to 5:00 pm, we’ll have lights and decorations on hand to turn your ride into a glowing work of art. At 5:00, we’ll roll out together for a casual group ride through the neighborhood, then head back to Venture Bikes in time for the projections. Riders of all ages and skill levels are welcome.
Bring your own bike; lights and decorations are provided.
About Light on Lake
In summer 2025, The Great Northern invited Minnesota-based artists to submit proposals for Light on Lake, a public art experience that turns the neighborhood into a large-scale moving projection installation.Over the past year, our selected artists led community workshops, inviting neighbors to share stories and ideas that shaped the final pieces.
This Cultural Districts Arts Fund activity is funded, in part, by the City of Minneapolis Arts & Cultural Affairs Department and the John and Denise Graves Foundation.
