event Uptown Art Fair

Whether you think it’s one of the greatest annual arts events in Minnesota or just that damned tent sale that blocks off Uptown’s busiest intersection for three days, it’s impossible to ignore the Uptown Art Fair. Roughly 350 artists and 300,000 of the folks who love them converge from all over the country for this massive show. If you seek that perfect something to hang on your living-room wall, you’ll likely find it here. And if you can’t, never fear, because the weekend also brings two smaller but similar annual art festivals to South Minneapolis, one in Powderhorn Park and the other in Loring Park, both less hectic than Uptown and located near a nice lake.
