The festival is located on the Minneapolis Riverfront next to Owamniyuomni (St. Anthony Falls) on the traditional homelands of the Dakota people. We recognize the original peoples of this land and acknowledge that it comes from a legacy of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced removal caused by U.S. law and policy applied to indigenous communities. We recognize indigenous peoples’ histories, diverse cultures, and rich traditions in arts and craftsmanship. Indigenous people continue to reside in this area and have made innumerable contributions to the Minneapolis community.
NOTE: The Stone Arch Bridge will be undergoing restoration work Spring 2024 – Spring 2026. During construction pedestrians and bicyclists will NOT be able to cross the full span of the bridge. (The 3rd Avenue bridge is now fully open.)
