2026 Pleasant Street Art Walk

The 8th annual Pleasant Street Art Walk returns to downtown Prior Lake on Saturday, September 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The street closes to traffic for the day, turning Pleasant Street SE into an outdoor showcase of more than 70 local and regional artists, performers, and specialty food vendors. The event is family-friendly.

Founded by Andrea Mullenmeister of ANM Pottery, the Art Walk began as a small neighborhood collaboration with artists setting up booths in front yards along the street. The following year the street was closed to traffic, and the event has grown into a Prior Lake fall tradition. Andrea describes it as “a grassroots celebration of art, community, and creativity highlighting the joyful and welcoming camaraderie that defines our Pleasant Street neighborhood.”

Pleasant Street is the oldest neighborhood in Prior Lake. The first house on the block was built in 1895, and a pair of 1920 Sears Catalog homes still stand at the east end. In 2011, neighbors organized to defeat a development proposal that would have rerouted Highway 21 through the street and demolished most of these historic homes. The Art Walk is in part a celebration of that community victory.
