Set in the charming riverfront downtown of local art hotspot Granite Falls, SquidFest showcases the wild wealth of art, music, food, culture, care, and crafts of this historied area.

Todd invites YOU to unleash your imagination and join us on a journey where creativity knows no bounds.  Something green and glorious is sprouting in our community. Get ready to blend artistry with sustainability in a project that will redefine our connection to the environment and each other. Curious to see how we're turning recycled materials into vibrant masterpieces? Stay tuned to see how everyone can get involved with an art project that promises to be as renewing as the warm prairie sunshine.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

SquidFest shares the day with the local American Legion #69’s RibFest, the Steve Virnig Memorial Disc Golf Tournament, and Welcome Days, because more food, friends, and music is always better - and RibFest will continue into the night. 

If we’re lucky, Todd - our resident river squid - may even make an appearance!

So mark your calendars, and ask yourself: “What is yOUR art?”
