The best urban art weekend of the summer is upon us: August 8 and 9, when the Uptown Art Fair (opens at noon on August 7), the Powderhorn Art Fair, and the Loring Park Art Festival gather together hundreds of artists from across the country and thousands of eager shoppers. Plenty of food and drink are available at all three venues to make a day of it—not to mention live music at the Uptown. Avoid the parking nightmare intrinsic to the weekend by downloading a free Art Pass, good on all Metro Transit bus routes and the Hiawatha light rail.
