The Kite Festival had a sunny day and a good turnout. Winds were not always cooperative, but most kites made it aloft.

For southwest Minneapolis residents Derek Ahlberg, Jeff Berg, and Paul Owen (not pictured), this was their fifth shanty to be picked for the festival. Work began on their creation mid-summer. Visitors entered the shanty and turned a star-shaped wheel. This action rotated triangular mirrors, which sent colored light bouncing around the interior. When this photographer stopped by, there was a long line of fest-goers waiting to try it out. (Photos by Terry Faust)

This year’s Ice Shanty program adjusted to become an exterior-only experience for visitors with a greater emphasis on the social aspect of the outdoor village life. “Art Shanty Projects has grown and shifted significantly over the years,” Artistic Director Erin Lavelle comments. “While we maintain the essential spirit of our intrepid beginnings on Medicine Lake in 2004, we are now grounded within an urban community and wider public network. It’s important to honor these changes with updated language that will inform our creative offerings and engagement.”
