City of Lakes Art Festival
I’ve never done an event quite like this! It’s my first big “art fair” type market and I’m so excited.
From our host:
City of Lakes Art Fair 2026
Saturday October 10, 10AM - 5PM
Sunday, October 11, 10AM - 5PM
Location: Between W Lake Street & Rose Lane along the W Bde Maka Ska Parkway.
We are so excited to bring back the City of Lakes Art Fair in the beautiful backdrop of Bde Maka Ska during peak autumn colors! Launched to great success in 2025, this art fair will feature 175+ talented artists from across the state, 30 emerging artists, live music, food and drinks, and more. With crisp fall air, vibrant leaves, and stunning lake views, it’s the perfect setting to celebrate art, community, and the season of change.
Plus, new to the art fair this year is the Harvest Market! Located in the plaza, the Harvest Market will feature 40 local farmers and packaged food vendors. From fresh, locally grown produce to small-batch jams, baked goods, spices, and other handcrafted foods, there's another delicious reason to explore the fair.
More event information will be added here and to cityoflakesartfair.com as it becomes available
