With our International Turtle Races being one of the highlights of the summer, we'd be silly to not have an entire festival based around our favorite creatures!
Each June, our community comes together to celebrate summer. Like most communities, our summer festival is based around one of our local icons - ours just happen to be turtles. Turtle Fest features a wide variety of events and activities to suit the whole family! Whether you are up for racing turtles, there is something for everyone

The first annual debate took place in 1993 and asked the question “The Nature of Humankind: Inherently Good or Inherently Evil?“. Since then, each year, four finalists present their ideas in front of a live audience who votes to crown America’s Greatest Thinker. Subsequent questions have included “Does Life Have Meaning?” (1994), “Does God Exist? ” (1996), “Is the Pen Mightier than the Sword?” (2002), “Is it ever wrong to do the right thing?” (2009), and “Does Technology Free Us or Trap Us?“(2015)
All are welcome to join us in New York Mills on the second Saturday in June for the live debate and to help answer the year’s question by casting your vote. The debate is held at the New York Mills School Auditorium, with a reception immediately following at the Cultural Center.

The 2019 question is: To vote or not to vote: does it matter?
Finalists announced May 1. Debate will be held Saturday, June 8, 2019 at the New York Mills School Auditorium. To purchase tickets online, visit https://thinkoff2019.brownpapertickets.com, or the Cultural Center at 218-385-3339. Tickets are $15 at the door or $12 in advance; students $5.
