The Edina Fall into the Arts Festival will take place September 7th and 8th at Centennial Lakes Park, marking two decades of the popular community event. The festival, organized by the Edina Chamber of Commerce, will feature participating artists and activities designed for families, including a dedicated kids zone.

The event benefits multiple local organizations, including the Edina Crime Prevention Fund, Centennial Lakes Park, the Edina Art Center, and the Edina Chamber of Commerce itself. By hosting the festival, these organizations aim to support community safety, park maintenance, arts education, and local business development.

The City Council retreat provided an opportunity for city leaders to review details about the festival and discuss how the city can support the event. No votes were recorded during this discussion, as retreats typically focus on planning and information-sharing rather than formal decision-making.
