A Prairie Home Companion, the Mall of America and 10,000 lakes come to mind when you think about Minnesota. But it's also artsy, culinary and outdoorsy. The North Star State's 555 events range from the quirky to the quintessential. The three biggest are: Minnesota State Fair, Uptown Art Fair and Edina Art Fair. But, there's also a wonderful tradition of county fairs, carnivals, summer concerts and antique shows. Scroll below to view the variety of culture, art, music and entertainment found at Minnesota Festivals, Art Shows, Music Festivals and Craft Shows.
