The move ends a tradition at the corner of Hennepin Avenue and Lake Street where artists had shown their wares for more than 60 years.

For decades, the Uptown Art Fair has been fixature in the Uptown neighborhood drawing thousands, but the event will no longer happen in the popular neighborhood.In fact, the 60-year tradition is even dropping "Uptown" from its name.

The Uptown Art Fair is a staple for Minneapolis residents, and has been a reliable source of increased revenue for businesses in the area. However, the Uptown Art Fair will no longer be called the Uptown Art Fair,

Uptown Art Fair organizers say the event is permanently moving to the Bachman's parking lot in Minneapolis and will be renamed the SoMi (South Minneapolis) Art Fair.

After 60 years, the Uptown Art Fair is no more. At least how it ran for the majority of those six decades. It will now be replaced by a new event dubbed the SoMi Art Fair and will take place at Bachman’s in South Minneapolis.
