Frosty Concerts, Boot Soccer Tourney At 2019's 'Great Northern'

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- This winter, people in the Twin Cities are being encouraged to bundle up and embrace Minnesota's coldest season. The Great Northern returns tomorrow, celebrating all things winter.

The 10-day festival includes established programs like the St. Paul Winter Carnival, City of Lakes Loppet and U.S. Pond Hockey Championships with new programs such as Music on the Mall and a boot soccer tournament.

All of the events are outside, in the snow and cold, even concerts.

Music on the Mall features a concert by indie pop duo Matt and Kim next Thursday.

And since it's outside, Brit's, The Local and Barrio will have its patios open for customers.
