We’re throwing a party, and you’re invited!
Join Springboard for the Arts as we celebrate 34 years of supporting artists and 4 years of creative community at our University Ave home. Free and open to all, Fall Fest is a day full of artist-led activities, live performances, food, artist resources, and creative fun for all ages.
Fall Fest is for you—whether you're an artist, a neighbor, or someone who believes that art and creativity make our world a better place.
Join us to celebrate the power of our creative community!
Fall Fest is part of the 2025 Fall St. Paul Art Crawl, organized by St. Paul Art Collective (SPAC).
Thank you to Old National Bank for sponsoring Fall Fest 2025.
