Description

If costumes aren't your thing and you feel like taking a short ride, this event might be a good alternative.  The Franconia Sculpture Park is a very interesting place to explore and photograph. If you missed it the first time we were there it's worth the drive. It's a very interesting place with numerous sculptures, most of them are large scale. If walking is a problem, they have golf carts to help get you around. If you think you will be going to go this event and would like to host, please let me know. We will definitely be going back this summer or Fall.
Franconia Sculpture Park is an innovative community arts organization that provides residence and work space to emerging and established artists.The 20-acre park, with a rotating collection of over 85 contemporary sculptures, reflects the creative talents of local, national, and international artists and open to the public 365 days a year, dawn to dusk. Franconia Sculpture Park is located 45 minutes northeast of the Twin Cities at the intersection of Hwy 8 (Lake Blvd) and Hwy 95 (St. Croix trail) in Chisago County, Franconia, Minnesota.
