Honor the Earth and its production and promotional partners, First Avenue and The Current, are proud to present the first ever Water Is Life: Stop Line 3 music, art, and cultural festival on August 18, 2021, at Bayfront Park in Duluth, MN on the shores of the mighty Gichi-Gami (Lake Superior).  

Featuring an unprecedented coalition of musicians, artists, poets, and Indigenous leaders, (including Bon Iver, Adia Victoria, Hippo Campus, Lissie, and more) this one-day festival is a celebration of water as the fundamental life-giving resource of Mother Earth, and a full-throttle resistance in music and song against the Line 3 tar sands oil pipeline currently snaking its way through the waterways and Anishinaabe lands of northern Minnesota.

All proceeds benefit the Indigenous women-led Honor the Earth non-profit in its fight against Enbridge’s Line 3 construction in Native treaty Lands during a time of climate crisis and severe drought.
