2026 Riverfront Fine Arts Festival
September 12 & 13, 10 AM – 5 PM Both Days
Our Riverfront Fine Arts Festival began in the 1970’s! Currently, it takes place in September and runs in conjunction with the Defeat of Jesse James Days, which brings thousands of people to Northfield for the weekend. Set along the idyllic Cannon River walkway, dozens of fine artists and craftspeople sell their work – ceramics, jewelry, paintings, fiber, wood and steel – there is something for everyone!
For artists interested in having a booth at the 2026 Riverfront Fine Arts Festival, please note that applications will open in mid-March via Zapplication.
