The Edina Art Fair has grown from a few crafters on the corner of 50^th and France to more than 400 artists displaying a diverse collection of art.  The Edina Art Fair enjoys its position as the Minnesota summer’s first art fair and the second largest art fair in the state.  The Fair is located in the quaint 50^th and France Quarter, located where Minneapolis and Edina meet and is hosted by the 50^th & France Business & Professional Association.  This unique neighborhood has a reputation for being dangerously charming and delightfully decadent – a distinction its members take pride in. 

In 2006 the Edina Art Fair added the Lifestyle Stage in celebration of the 50^th & France lifestyle.  The Lifestyle Stage coupled with the Entertainment Stage provides a cascade of entertainment for all ages.  Fashion shows, demonstrations in the art of cooking, floral arranging, spa techniques and more, combines with notable musicians to make the Lifestyle Stage a visitor focus.  The Entertainment Stage provides a music-lovers dream by celebrating the art of music and featuring both notable as well as emerging musicians.

In 2007 Lifestyle and Entertainment stage programming was expanded.  The Patio (previously the Beer Garden) was upscaled to create a summer oasis in viewing proximity of the Lifestyle Stage.  The free no-hassle shuttle was increased.  We are grateful to the Southdale Shopping Center for providing the shuttle parking lot which so greatly eliminated visitor frustration, making a visit to the Edina Art Fair an enjoyable day from start to finish. 

Make time to enjoy the diverse collection of art, visit with more than 400 artists, enjoy children’s activities, fashion shows, great food, Lifestyle demonstrations and wonderful music.  Welcome summer at the 2008 Edina Art Fair, May 30 - June 1!
