Whether you’re searching for a statement piece, discovering a new artist, or simply enjoying a summer day outdoors, the Edina Art Fair offers something for everyone.
Experience the Art
2026 Featured Artist: Megan Murrell
This year’s featured artist, Megan Murrell, draws inspiration from the natural world and the stories woven throughout it. Her featured piece, Welcome Migration, was inspired by the Monarch butterfly and its extraordinary journey-a symbol of hope, resilience, and transformation.
Murrell has long been fascinated by the beauty of nature, particularly the parts of it that require our protection and stewardship. Through vibrant color and intricate detail, Welcome Migration celebrates the Monarch’s miraculous migration and reminds us that even the smallest creatures can inspire wonder, perseverance, and optimism.
Discover More Than 250 Artists
The heart of the Edina Art Fair is, of course, the art. Visitors can explore works across twelve juried categories, including painting, photography, ceramics, jewelry, sculpture, mixed media, and more.

Live Music on Two Stages
Art sets the scene, but live music keeps the energy flowing all weekend long. The Edina Art Fair features performances across two stages throughout the weekend.
The Lisa & Jerry O’Brien Concert Stage will showcase local musicians throughout the weekend, from acoustic sets and singer-songwriters to crowd favorites and emerging performers.
The Nolan Mains Stage offers an equally impressive lineup, creating a lively soundtrack for strolling artist booths, enjoying food and beverages, and spending time in the heart of 50th & France.
Performers throughout the weekend include Ben Aaron, Dan Israel, Mother Coyote, The Bad Blood Trio, DARK PONY, Wain McFarlane & Friends, Mexicangelics, Andra Suchy, and many more. With performances running all three days, there’s always something worth stopping to listen to.
Come Hungry
From food trucks and festival favorites to local restaurant offerings and artisan treats, the Edina Art Fair has become just as much a culinary destination as it is an arts event.
Visitors can enjoy everything from fish and chips, BBQ, pizza, pierogies, Indian cuisine, paella, mini donuts, macarons, kettle corn, boba tea, churros, lemonade, and more from over 30 food vendors throughout the fair.
Featured vendors include Anchor Fish & Chips, Broder’s Restaurant, Mr. Paul’s & Mothership Pizza, Pajarito, Red Cow, Parlour Food Truck, Rollin Nolens BBQ, Paella Depot, Hoppers Mini Donuts, Nikkolette Macarons, Niko Niko Boba, Edina Coffee Roasters, Lunds & Byerlys, and many more.
Visitors can also explore the Culinary Artisan Marketplace, featuring specialty foods, handcrafted treats, seasonings, sauces, and locally made products from Minnesota makers.
Sip and Stroll
Looking to relax between artist booths? Three beverage gardens will be serving drinks throughout the weekend. Stop by the Mr. Paul’s & Mothership Pizza Beer & Cocktail Garden, the Pajarito Food & Beverage Garden, or the Red Cow Beverage Garden for craft cocktails, beer, wine, and refreshing summer sips while enjoying live music and the festival atmosphere.
Fun for the Whole Family
The Edina Art Fair is designed for all ages. The Kids Zone features face painting, hands-on art activities, dance, building experiences, and interactive fun from local organizations, making it a favorite stop for young art lovers. Families can also explore the Minnesota Made Marketplace, shop and dine throughout 50th & France, and bring along their four-legged friends-the fair is dog-friendly, too.
Rebecca Sorensen, Executive Director of the 50th & France Business Association, shared her excitement for this year’s event: “We are grateful to have Jill at the helm after her many years of dedicated work with the Uptown Art Fair. Her leadership has helped shape the event into a truly fine arts-focused experience, featuring a wonderful mix of beloved returning artists and exciting new discoveries. We hope everyone finds something special at this year’s Edina Art Fair!”
