JOIN US AT THE STARTING LINE — ART IS CALLING!
Kick off Emberlight’s 2025 season in the heart of Miners Memorial Heritage Park with the Art in the Park Opening Ceremony on June 28 at noon! Join artists, performers, and fellow art lovers for a ribbon-cutting celebration, followed by an afternoon of festivities throughout the park.
As you explore this year’s stunning collection of outdoor installations — crafted by artists from across the Upper Midwest — you’ll experience firsthand how our 2025 theme “Cadences of Connection” comes to life through art. These works invite you to reflect on the rhythms that link us to one another and to the world around us.
And don’t forget to cast your vote for your favorite piece! The winner of the Audience Prize will be announced during our final concert on August 23, 2025.
ACCESSIBILITY
We are excited to offer complimentary golf cart rides again this summer! Our driver will be doing tours all afternoon on opening day (June 28). The golf cart will also be available to bring patrons to Performance Infusions on Saturday afternoons. The online sign up form to reserve your tour will be available in June.
