Edina Fall into the Arts Festival 2026

Thank you for your consideration of the 22nd annual Edina Fall into the Arts Festival in Edina, Minnesota as part of your 2026 festival schedule. It is our goal to make this event a safe, enjoyable and rewarding show for all participating artists.

The Edina Fall into the Arts Festival is a charitable community event that supports local business, public safety, youth programs, neighborhood engagement and arts programming in the city of Edina. Centennial Lakes Park is one of the most scenic park locations in the Twin Cities Metro Area and offers ample free parking nearby, as well as additional recreational activities. We look forward to hosting 245 original artists and anticipate a safe, successful and well attended event!

In 2026, our event is once again a juried festival and all participating artists must be juried into the show.
Two staffed registration and information stations will be available during the festival. One is located right outside Hughes Pavilion in the park and another one is located in the upper parking terrace of the Centennial Lakes Park Business District. We will also offer artists refreshments as permissable in these areas. Friday set-up for artists is anticipated and highly encouraged.

Centennial Lakes Park in Edina is 1/2 block east of France Avenue between Hazelton Road and Minnesota Drive. Entrance to the park is through the Centennial Lakes shopping, dining and entertainment district. There are more than 6,000 free parking spaces near the park, with more free parking to the north and south of the park. Easy access to the park is gained from highways 494, 35W, 100 and 62, and York Ave.
