Planning Your Night

With almost 80 projects and 508 minutes, there is a lot to see and experience at Northern Spark. You can plan your festival night in many different ways: follow a themed tour, make your own must-see list, or let serendipity guide your path.

Leave it to us.

To help you navigate the festival’s many projects, events, and activities, we’ve designed a few themed routes for you to follow. Detours are encouraged.


Chart your own path.

The Art and Events schedule lists every project and event happening at Northern Spark. With our My Night tool, you can customize this list for yourself.

My Night is a feature that lets you assemble a list of projects that you want to see, including times and locations. Each event and project listing has a My Night tab: click it to add to your list. When you’re done, print it, share it, or transfer it to the festival’s mobile app.


Leave it to chance.

With almost 80 projects and 508 minutes, you’re bound to stumble on surprise and delight at Northern Spark. When you arrive at the festival, go to one of the Info Hubs and pick up a festival guidebook. The guidebook describes each project and has a list of timed events, as well as information on where to find the amenities you need, such as bathrooms, first aid, and food.

Or just wander and take it all in!
