Every July and August the Emberlight Festival produces a celebration of world-class art and creativity. Our 2024 season featured over 100 local, regional and international artists who dazzled our audiences through an array of music, film, theater, and visual art in the beautiful natural surroundings and historic halls of Ironwood, Michigan and Hurley, Wisconsin.
In our first four festivals we produced 119 individual events. Our roster of artists have credits from over 100 individual Broadway musicals. We have presented 66 installations in Art in the Park. The Film Festival team has reviewed over 2,600 films hailing from 83 countries. The Miners Park has come to life with 24 enlightening Performance Infusions that have highlighted the immense talent across our hometown region.
Emberlight’s 5th anniversary season will run from June 28 – August 23, 2025. Our core programming elements will return with plenty of new surprises sprinkled across the eight weeks of our festival. Join us for a weekend or the entire summer! The full 2025 season schedule will be announced in April.
