Congratulations to NAZ for bagging the ultra-top talent of an amazing performer for the 2026 Gala, October 24.

We are thrilled to announce that the 2026 SOARNORTH Gala, presented by Cargill, returns to the Minneapolis Armory on Saturday, October 24, for a legendary evening.

As NAZ marks our 15th anniversary, we're honored to welcome special musical guest John Legend for an intimate, one-night-only solo performance. An EGOT-winning, critically acclaimed, multiplatinum artist and producer, Legend is one of only 23 people in history to achieve EGOT status and is among the most accomplished entertainers of his generation.

Join us as we celebrate the power of community, the promise of possibility, and a future where every child has roots to remind them where they're from and wings to show them what they can become.

Beloveds: you are invited to join us this weekend on Saturday, January 31 and Sunday, February 1, at the Northside Luminary Light Up event being held at the Old Highland Neighborhood Community Garden from 5:00-9:00pm. This is organized by the wonderful St. Jane House.

There will be an opportunity to come see, hear, and feel in the presence of our neighbors. Come walk in the midst of beautiful ice luminaries and in the warmth of both bonfire and community.

This space will be held in illuminated vigil starting Saturday through Monday at 8:00am.

May we be lights in the swirling darkness.
Look forward to seeing you there!
