Fall Into the Arts Festival
Fall Into the Arts Festival Returns to Morris This September
Mark your calendars for one of the most colorful events of the season: the Fall Into the Arts Festival is back — and it’s bigger, bolder, and bursting with more artistic energy than ever before!
Saturday, September 6, 2025
11 am to 4 pm
East Side Park, Morris, MN
Free Admission
Hosted by the Prairie Renaissance Cultural Alliance (PRCA), this 4th annual celebration of the arts is a reinvention of the much-loved Metal Arts Festival, now expanded to include all kinds of artistic expression from metalworking and sculpture to painting, photography, textiles, and beyond.
What to Expect: Art, Music, Food & More
Whether you’re a casual art admirer or a dedicated supporter of the local creative scene, there’s something here to spark your interest:
- Local Artist Booths – Discover one-of-a-kind pieces and meet the makers behind them.
- Art Contest – Vote for your favorite piece and help shine a spotlight on local talent.
- Art Auction – Bid on original works and support the PRCA while beautifying your own walls.
- Live Music – Tap your toes (or join a two-step!) with tunes by the Honky Tonk Stardust Cowboy Band.
- Dance Lessons – Loosen up and learn a few new moves while enjoying the music.
- Food Trucks & Local Beverages – Come hungry! Enjoy a variety of bites and sips from regional vendors.
Whether you’re browsing booths, placing bids, or dancing in the grass, the Fall Into the Arts Festival is a fantastic way to connect with creativity in a laid-back, small-town setting.
A Festival with Heart
More than just a fun afternoon out, this event is a fundraiser for the PRCA — a nonprofit that works year-round to make the arts accessible and vibrant across Stevens County. Every dollar raised supports programs, exhibits, and events that bring people together through shared artistic experiences.
