Structures, sculptures, models, furniture and artwork by Yestermorrow staff, interns, students and instructors will be on display. From a custom-built Tiny House on wheels, to a handmade boat, this cross section of work displays the full breadth of classes taught at Yestermorrow.

Grand Point Local showcases some of Vermont's best purveyors including Skinny Pancake, Open Hearth Pizza, Bluebird BBQ, Pingala Cafe, Shaker Maple Farm, Carte Blanche, Artsriot, A-Maize-ing Kettle Corn, Single Pebble, Healthy Kingdom Vending, Mac's Sugar Shack.

REVERB, the nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering millions of individuals to create a better future for people and the planet through action at concerts and beyond will once again be part of Grand Point North. REVERB works with artists, festivals, and venues to reduce the environmental impact of live music and touring while engaging the music community, music-makers, and music-lovers to create real, positive change. Local organizations CarShare Vermont and Vermont Community Garden Network will take part in the REVERB Eco-Village.
