What’s Up Ely is a podcast that celebrates the spirit of Ely, Minnesota – a vibrant community with a rich history and a dynamic arts and cultural scene. It also just so happens to be a small town on the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and surrounded by the Superior National Forest. There is truly always something fun to and someone fascinating to meet in Ely! 

This episode is a December 2025 Ely area event round up featuring special guest Johannah Scarlet.
