Presented by Lanesboro Arts on Saturday, June 14th in scenic Lanesboro, MN
Lanesboro Arts is proud to present the 44th annual Art in the Park fine art festival on Saturday, June 14th, 2025, in Lanesboro’s Sylvan Park with 90-plus fine art and craft booths, family art activities, local food and beverage vendors, and live music. This event will run from 10 am to 5 pm, providing visitors an ample amount of time to view and purchase fine art, connect with others, and enjoy the festivities. Renowned for quality, variety and value, Art in the Park is a family-friendly art fair that attracts thousands of regional patrons to Sylvan Park each year.
The focal point of Art in the Park is of course the art! Fine art and craft artist booths encircle Sylvan Park underneath canopies of shade, featuring a wide variety of artist-made work by over 90 artists from the tri-state region. There will be original paintings, photography, fine jewelry, textile rugs and quilts, hand-thrown ceramics, stained glass, blown and fused glass sculptures, artworks utilizing reclaimed wood, metalwork, woven baskets, embroidery, and more. In addition to art vendors, there will be art demonstrations at various booths, as well as family and youth art activities!
If perusing all the artist booths works up an appetite, Art in the Park food and beverage vendors have you covered with delicious and locally prepared foods and craft beverages. Available food options in 2025 include home grown locally sourced or foraged ingredients (Heimstead); tacos, enchiladas, and more (Taqueria El Sueño); barbeque sandwiches (Biggen’s BBQ); brats and hot dogs from Lanesboro High School TexMex Fundraiser. The Farmers Market will also offer fresh food and healthy snack stands. Beverages will be offered by Location Lanesboro Podcast. Craft beer will be provided by Lanesboro’s very own Sylvan Brewing, KARST Brewing of Fountain, and Kinney Creek Brewery of Rochester.
Come for the art, stay for the live music! Throughout the festival, live music in the Sylvan Park Gazebo will keep energy high. The Rutabaga Brothers (10:00-11:30 am) is a southeast Minnesota-based upbeat blues ensemble. Marques Morel (12:00-1:30 pm) is an American songwriter, storyteller, and wandering troubadour with a wholly unique Midwestern-twang of folk music. Molly Brandt (2:00-3:30 pm) was named 2023 and 2024 Americana Artist of the Year at the Midwest Country Music Awards and has been making waves in the independent music scene across the region. Driftless Jazz (4:00-5:00 pm) will round out the day with smooth, easy-listening jazz standards. Take a break from perusing art to soak up the music!
Admission to Art in the Park is free. Accessible parking is available at Sylvan Park. Socialized dogs on leashes are permitted.
Art in the Park is presented by LANESBORO ARTS and is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
