The 2026 Edina Art Fair celebrates its 59th year as one of the most respected and highly attended fine art festivals in the Midwest. This three-day event is nationally recognized for presenting high-quality fine art and attracts tens of thousands of art lovers and collectors. The fair is located on the streets of the 50th & France Business District in Edina, an upscale destination known for independent boutiques, specialty retail, and award-winning restaurants.

The fair showcases 250+ juried fine artists carefully selected for excellence, originality, and craftsmanship, along with live music, immersive art experiences, creative programming, food trucks, and a beer garden.
