In 1964, the Uptown Fair was established to raise awareness of the arts and fund Uptown projects. Despite its evolution over the years, its core mission remains unchanged. Each year, a significant portion of the fair's proceeds are reinvested in the community to support various programs and activities.

Beyond being an art showcase, the fair is a lively celebration of Uptown's unique and unconventional community. Uptown serves as a crossroads, bridging the city's energy with the tranquility of the lakes. It's a delightful destination where shopping, dining, nature, and lifestyle seamlessly intertwine. Located around Lake Street and Hennepin Avenue, Uptown offers a captivating urban environment with a blend of sophistication, scenic beauty, and style—a perfect mix of places to explore and people to meet. We invite you to discover this fabulous neighborhood during your visit and immerse yourself in its charm!
