Riverfront Fine Arts Festival
The Riverfront Fine Arts Festival began in the 1970s! Currently, it takes place on the second weekend of September and runs in conjunction with the Defeat of Jesse James Days. Set along the idyllic Cannon River walkway, over 65 fine artists and craftspersons sell their work – ceramics, jewelry, paintings, fiber, wood and steel – there is something for everyone!
September 9 & 10, 2017
Time: 10:00 am – 5:00 pm both days
Rain or shine!
During the weekend of September 9 & 10, 2017 you can help the exhibiting artists make this event a success! Help direct artist traffic, unload vehicles, make coffee, deliver water and snacks to artists, hand out fliers, lead an art demo, and more!
We’d love your help! Email the Visual Arts Manager, Heather Lawrenz: heather@northfieldartsguild.org
