    Isanti Together - Illuminate Isanti

    In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Karla and Bre — two community-minded leaders who saw something special in Isanti and decided it was worth fighting for. When the City of Isanti announced it would discontinue Illuminate Isanti, the beloved winter light festival many families looked forward to each year, Karla and Bre stepped up. They created Isanti Together, a volunteer-driven group with one mission: keep the magic alive. Join us as we explore how this grassroots movement began, the passion behind their efforts, the challenges of taking on a city-run event as volunteers, and the big vision they have for the future of Illuminate Isanti and beyond. This episode is a celebration of community, leadership, and what happens when everyday people decide, “If not us, then who?”
