Eagan’s most vibrant summer tradition is back for its 31st year, and it’s shaping up to be a masterpiece. On Saturday, June 21 (9am–5pm) and Sunday, June 22 (10am–4pm), the Eagan Art Festival will once again transform the shady lawns of Central Park into an open-air gallery bursting with creativity.
What makes the festival a can’t-miss?
80-plus artist booths—each one unique.
Browse and buy original work from painters, potters, jewelers, fiber artists, photographers, glassworkers, wood-turners and more. It’s the perfect place to start (or grow) your local-art collection and meet the makers behind each piece.
Live entertainment & community art experiences.
A rotating lineup of musicians and performers keeps the festival soundtrack upbeat, while hands-on art stations invite kids (and kids-at-heart) to create their own mini masterpieces. Look for this year’s Community Art Project—a collaborative piece that will live on long after the weekend wraps.
Local flavors to keep you fueled.
From cold-brew coffee to food-truck favorites, a curated mix of vendors will be on-site so you can snack, sip, and stroll without missing a moment of the fun.
Free admission, free parking, easy access.
The festival grounds sit just minutes from I-35E and I-494, and both entry and parking are 100% free—so bring the whole crew and stay as long as you like.

- Grab a festival map (or screenshot it) so you don’t miss your favorite mediums.
- Take a creativity break while participating in the Community Art Project!
- Refuel with local bites while enjoying the midday concert set.
