Please join us for Northshield's premier Bardic Event! The theme is Anthesteria; historically a 3 day Greek festival honoring Dionysus.
Come, enjoy the beautiful site of Jack McGowan's Farm. Pitch a tent and see the wooded trails on Friday afternoon. Settle down by the fire or near the Saloon.
Our site is located approximately 15 mins from Mankato Mn. While you can use your GPS to take you there, please search 20001 T-198. Please note the name of the road on the road sign is Hawkeye lane.
If you have never been to the site, or want a refresher, the video below shows the route in. We think we have the most scenic entrance of any event.
