The 2021 Uptown Art Fair has been canceled, organizers announced Tuesday.
In a statement, the Uptown Association said several unanticipated challenges and events that are beyond our control were to blame for the cancellation of the event, which was planned for Aug. 6-8. It would have been the art fair s 57th year.
Event organizers said they had considered several options, including relocating to an alternate location a few blocks away from the festival s usual home at Hennepin and Lagoon avenues, but ultimately decided it would be best to call it off. However, despite our collective best effort, we were unable to reach a consensus among the many stakeholders it takes to successfully put on an event of this size and scope, the Uptown Association said in a statement. Because of multiple evolving issues and the logistics of a large-scale event, it was not executable.

The federal agency whose task force fatally shot Winston Boogie Smith Jr. while trying to arrest him in a Minneapolis parking ramp usually keeps a low profile.
But amid a national push for police accountability, critics now are questioning the often-secret actions of the U.S. Marshals Service, including why and how it oversaw the operation that resulted in Smith s death. The reason you don t know much about the Marshals Service is that s the way they operate, said Thomas Heffelfinger, former U.S. attorney for Minnesota. The secrecy under which they operate is to some degree consistent with their mission, which is done much more effectively if done quietly.
