Via ArtReach St. Croix:

The natural beauty of the St. Croix River has attracted artists and outdoor enthusiasts for generations. This nationally-recognized, wild and scenic river and its tree covered bluffs create a breath-taking backdrop for the growing number of fall art events.
This September, Take Me to the River will celebrate the art fairs, music festivals and performance, open artists studios, gallery exhibitions and more. This unique “festival of festivals” encourages visitors and residents alike to join the hundreds of artists and dozens of events that celebrate the vibrant culture that is alive and thriving in the St. Croix Valley. This year’s event will feature three weekends worth of programs.
