Street Faire at the Lakes

The Historic Holmes Theatre is gearing up for the 25th annual Street Faire at the Lakes in beautiful Downtown Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, May 30-31st. HHT, as a part of the Detroit Lakes Community and Cultural Center, has dedicated itself as a hub of arts to the area, and works to uplift and organize for the vibrant and thriving arts community in the region.

With over 125 artist booths, Street Faire at the Lakes is the first outdoor art show of the season in the Lakes Region. We are looking for vendors who are ready to sell handmade/designed/crafted wares to visitors in the lakes area. Vendors are required to be present for full two days of the faire. This is the earliest street faire in the region this year (happening before the Edina Art Fair the first weekend of June) and we always have a great turn out!

Jury or Re-Jury Process: New artist applicants, when filling out an application, must submit 4 digital images for jury process – 3 images of work and 1 image of booth display. Artist images will be viewed anonymously and scored by a panel of jurors based on originality and craftsmanship. No scores or explanation of results will be given. New artists do not pay when applying. If accepted, you will be given a link to pay online.
