VIRTUAL RIVERFRONT FINE ARTS FESTIVAL
The artist shops on the Virtual Festival page will go live on Saturday, September 12. From this page, visitors and shoppers will be directed to the participating artists’ websites.

Every year, the Northfield Arts Guild presents the Riverfront Fine Arts Festival on the weekend after Labor Day along the idyllic banks of the Cannon River in downtown Northfield. In 2020, we are excited to host this year’s festival online for the first time in our history. We recognize the importance of keeping this economic opportunity active for artists during a year where large, in-person gatherings aren’t possible.
The Guild’s 2020 Virtual Riverfront Fine Arts Festival features a tremendous variety of local and regional artists offering their works for sale, accompanied by online artist interviews, art making demonstrations and studio tours.

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.
