Step back into the magic for Year Two of the North Country Hootenanny!


MoonCats Productions is bringing the celebration back to Grand Forks — and this year’s winter gathering shines even brighter. Set inside the historic Empire Arts Center, the night unfolds with rich folk, Americana, and high-spirited bluegrass from an unforgettable trio of performers.

Returning to light up the stage once again are the crowd-favorites Pert Near Sandstone, bringing their wild, rhythmic stomp that turns any room into a dance floor. Adding to the magic are the MoonCats, delivering their signature toe-tappin’ tunes, lively singalongs, and heartwarming North Dakota charm that gets the whole room buzzing. Opening the night is the roots-driven Dellwood, bringing fresh energy and soulful storytelling to set the tone.

Expect warm lights, cold air outside, and a room full of good people sharing one magical winter night of music, movement, and memory-making.

Secure your tickets and be part of the second chapter of this growing Grand Forks tradition!
