The Homestead hosts Ullr Festival
From staff reports
The Homestead’s Ullr Festival will continue every weekend through February and potentially into March as well, depending on the weather. Named for the Norse God of snow and winter, the Ullr Festival offers residents and visitors fun on the slopes and additional activities above and beyond slicing through the snow.
“We came up with the idea of an Ullr Festival as a way to help non-skiers enjoy their time. It’s also a great way for those who do want to hit the slopes to further enjoy the area and our resort,” said Robert Kuras, owner and CEO of The Homestead.
It is all part of a plan to provide fun for the whole family, from morning through evening. Bonfires, live music, ski films, sports and movies on the big screen, yoga and more are among the ways in which Kuras hopes to provide activities for all ages and all interests, no matter the weather. Kuras says the resort is looking to implement additional activities throughout the year to showcase the area’s natural beauty and The Homestead’s commitment to providing pursuits with a broad appeal. “We are fortunate to live in the most beautiful place in America, and we want to share all the things that make the Sleeping Bear area unique,” Kuras says.
