Reunions

Reunions. They're a time to renew, rejoice and revisit those people, places and events that commemorate your most important connections. There's no better place to do that than in Ely. Rekindle your connections with family, friends or classmates in the North Woods where you can enjoy our long, temperate summer days paddling, hiking or boating and end those days around the fire under a night sky filled with endless stars. 

For family reunions, Ely is a perfect location for the kids to learn the art of the perfect cast and later to gather around a campfire sharing stories and s'mores, making your own North Woods traditions. You'll be revisiting your most cherished memories and making new ones in the process.

Looking to connect with former Ely Memorial High School graduates, current residents or those in memory? Check out our active community-led Facebook Group, What’s Up Ely, MN? to connect.
