Happy Meandering from September 30 through October 2. Get a start on your holiday shopping by purchasing some unique local art. Enjoy the fall scenery and beautiful countryside while supporting our local artists in the upper Minnesota River Valley!
Granite Falls has hosted a Friday night Meander event for a few years now. Granite Falls Riverfront Revitalization , an active volunteer organization, first organized these events with help from the chamber. It started as walking theater created by Placebase Productions and after that it was a locally written walking theater with volunteer actors. Because of the unpredictable weather for an outdoor theater performance, this year it was changed to a progressive dinner with a musical act at each location called Musical Chairs. Each location features artwork from one of our local Meander artists. There is no overall fee and you can go to as many or as few locations as you like and pay for each course separately. But to be eligible for the prize drawing of artwork at Bootleggers Supper Club at 10 PM, you must have your program signed at all five locations.
