The Nor'easter Festival


"The Nor'easter is the perfect way to bring people who support mountain life, people who love music, and people who are concerned about the environment together for a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience," said Will Manzer, President and CEO of Eastern Mountain Sports. "Our goal is to combine the fun of a music festival with the excitement of an elite climbing competition in a single outdoor venue with a minimal environmental impact, so that it is left in even better condition at the end of the event than it was at the beginning. It's going to open a lot of eyes."
