Minnehaha Falls Park, one of Minneapolis’ oldest and most popular parks, features a majestic 53-foot waterfall, limestone bluffs, and river overlooks, attracting more than 850,000 visitors annually.
Minnehaha Falls Art Fair was voted by artists in the Sunshine Artist Magazine as the 49th Best Art Fair in the United States and 2nd Best Art Fair in Minnesota!
Hours will be 3-8pm Friday, 10am-7pm Saturday, and 10am-5pm Sunday. The event will feature between 100-150 artist booths, along with music, crafts, food, and more. Set up will take place Friday morning and early afternoon. Every artist will be assigned a load in time to allow for ease of traffic flow. Overnight security will be provided Friday and Saturday nights.
One key marketing strategy for the Minnehaha Falls Art Fair is “Items Under $30 At Every Booth!” This will be required of every artist.
The event is a ZERO WASTE event. This means that artists, food trucks, and other vendors will not be allowed to use items that are not compostable or recyclable. IE-You are not allowed to put your art in plastic bags to send with customers. This rule will be strictly enforced. (The art itself does not need to be recyclable or compostable, but sustainable art practices are encouraged.)
