Step into the heart of outdoor excitement at Nessmuk’s Annual Spring Festival – a celebration tailor-made for families who love the great outdoors. New this year we are extending the Festival to a multi-day event that will feature more vendors, more demos, and a lot more family fun! It will be two days filled with fun activities, and plenty of opportunities to connect with nature.
​
There’s something for everyone at Nessmuk’s Spring Festival. Kids can partake in exciting activities while parents explore vendors, outfitters, and artisans showcasing their wares. But the fun doesn’t stop there – dive into outdoor skills demos led by experts.
​
We are moving to a new location this year and are excited to be partnering with Ski Sawmill located in lovely Morris
