The story

Powderhorn Art Fair in Minneapolis

The Powderhorn Art Fair is a juried outdoor fine art fair held every year in Powderhorn Park in south Minneapolis, typically the first weekend of August. Produced by the Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association (PPNA), the 2026 edition marks its 35th year and brings together roughly 200 visual artists working across some 20 mediums alongside about 20 local food trucks and vendors.

The Powderhorn Art Fair grew out of the Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association's efforts to support and showcase the arts community in one of south Minneapolis's most culturally mixed neighborhoods.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Powderhorn Art Fair is run entirely by a neighborhood association rather than a private promoter, with proceeds and fundraising goals directed back into local arts organizations, a recent fair pledged a portion of its fundraising specifically to support a nearby community pottery studio and visual arts center

02

The mystery stays covered

The fair pairs its juried Main Exhibitors section with a dedicated Community and Youth Showcase and an Upcycle Artists category for work made from reclaimed materials, giving emerging, youth, and sustainability-focused artists a platform alongside established professionals

03

The city starts moving

Set inside Powderhorn Park on the shore of Powderhorn Lake in one of Minneapolis's most diverse neighborhoods, the fair leans into its food-truck lineup as a core draw, billing itself as much a food festival as an art fair
