(KNSI) – Munsinger and Clemens Gardens’ annual Art Fair in the Gardens on July 16th has been canceled.
This year’s event was set to bring more than 60 artists from across Minnesota to the riverside gardens for a day of art, music and food. Organizers say it is due to hazardous air quality from wildfires burning in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area that the Pollution Control Agency says makes it too dangerous to be outside for any period of time.
The closure of Riverside Drive has also been canceled.
