ART, FOOD & FUN!

Now in its 56th year, the award-winning Uptown Art Fair invites you to join us in the heart of Uptown Minneapolis with over 350 artists, amazing food, entertainment, and hands-on activities for all!

    Welcome to Uptown!

    At the intersection of West Lake Street and Hennepin Avenue lies a vibrant and diverse urban community that is a destination like no other in the Twin Cities. Throughout the year, business activities and events such as the City of Lakes Loppet in the wintertime to the Uptown Food Truck Festival, Bastille Day and the North Star Bicycle Festival in the summer enhance the energy of the Uptown community.

    Speaking of festivals, The Uptown Art Fair, produced by the Uptown Association, is a juried fine arts festival with a reputation as one of the most exceptional art fairs in the United States. Through a rich history and constant innovation, the Uptown Art Fair showcases a variety of quality art for everyone’s budget.
