❄️ You Belong... in Winter

"Warm Up to Winter" is a joyful gathering and seasonal kickoff event designed to show that everyone can live fully, freely, and outdoors all year round—even in a Minnesota winter.

Each summer, we are reminded that being outdoors—walking, biking, skiing, or simply being in nature—is a vital part of our health and happiness. But we cannot let winter stop our forward momentum. This night will introduce you to all the ways you and your family can stay active, warm, and connected this winter.

We’re inviting you to a space of belonging, visibility, and joyful exploration. Whether you’re new to Minnesota, new to snow, or just new to outdoor activity—this evening is for you.
