Land of the Loon Ethnic Arts and Crafts Festival celebrates the
culture and customs of the diverse people who settled in Northeastern
Minnesota. The colorful traditions and flavors of the early immigrants
and settlers are re-created by a melting pot of artisans, crafters,
musicians, entertainers, and welcoming volunteers.
The two-day festival kicks off the third full weekend in June on
Saturday morning with an eighty-unit parade down Chestnut Street and
Fifth Avenue in the historic heart of Virginia. Then the activities
shift north to beautiful Olcott Park where the crowds sample the
delicious ethnic foods, listen to the colorful music from countries
around the world, browse among the hundreds of exquisite art and craft
booths, and celebrate the weekend-long family entertainment hosted by
Iron Range volunteers.
