AuroraThe perfect place to visit...for a day or a lifetime!The city of Aurora was christened in 1903 by local civic leaders who were inspired by a particularly brilliant display of northern lights high above the new village. Today, the city combines quaint style with a friendly hometown atmosphere and offers many business development opportunities as well as an impressive range of established product and service-related businesses.
The Northern Lights Music Festival is an intensive 20 day classical music performance program that will take participants before large and enthusiastic audiences in seven northern Minnesota cities this summer. At Northern Lights you are the stars, performing numerous times in chamber music, solo and ensemble repertoire. More than 18 performances of solo and chamber music repertoire are scheduled in Aurora, Virginia, Gilbert, Hoyt Lakes, Duluth, Minneapolis and the resort city of Ely.
Aurora celebrates the 4th of July with a traditional parade, picnics and numerous community events. Freedom Fete', an annual music festival, tops off the patriotic celebration on July 3-4. Pumpkinfest, held in October, attracts both young and old to its craft displays, quilt show, children's activities and tasty foods. All through the year, journey back in time with a visit to City Hall, where a pictorial display of Aurora's history will delight viewers with the rich ethnic diversity and cultural heritage of Aurora's early days.
