Adding a beautiful concessions area in 2021, we created a funky and fun outdoor vibe for an unforgettable fan experience. Cars in the audience were replaced by socially distanced pods. Improved production elevated the concert experience for fans and artists alike. These changes ushered in the era of NORTHLANDS! We presented another season of concerts with artists including Umphrey's McGee, Warren Haynes, Goose, Disco Biscuits, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Twiddle, Pink Talking Fish, Allman Betts Band, Badfish, moe. & more!

Coming into 2022, our growing organization made the switch to one large scale, weekend long event. NORTHLANDS MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL was born! Over two days and two stages, large crowds experienced 15 world class bands, and enjoyed on-site camping, installation art, performance art, eclectic local food trucks, several bar locations, craft artisan vendors, a VIP area and much more for an absolutely epic weekend.

MISSION

Our mission is to celebrate the diversity of our world through independent films that educate, enrich and engage audiences. We achieve this by being a year-round cultural resource for the Monadnock Region through our annual film festival and partnerships with local organizations to provide free community screenings that showcase high-quality, independent cinema.

VISION

Our vision is to bring the community together and highlight the local, regional and international films and filmmakers that inspire, engage and expand our worldview. Named "Up and Coming Film Fest" by New Hampshire Magazine, the Monadnock International Film Festival (MONIFF) showcases high-quality, independent cinema every year in the beautiful Monadnock Region, known for its vibrant arts culture and Mt. Monadnock, one of the world's most climbed mountains. MONIFF features award-winning films on the festival circuit, domestic and foreign, along with premieres of regionally produced films by New Hampshire and New England filmmakers. The festival's highlight every year is the presentation of the Jonathan Daniels Award, given to a filmmaker whose work fuses social and/or political awareness with artistic excellence and encompasses Jonathan Daniels courage by telling stories of hope, redemption, and triumph of the human spirit.
