Over 65 fine artists are represented in the Riverfront Fine Arts Festival, an annual juried event of the Northfield Arts Guild since the 1970s. Held during the Defeat of Jesse James Days Celebration, the Riverfront Fine Arts Festival invites patrons to stroll the Cannon River Walkway in historic downtown Northfield.  Start your walk just behind the Northfield Arts Guild - 304 Division Street South, to discover works by wonderful artists from our community and region.  The Riverfront Fine Arts Festival runs 10:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. on both Saturday, September 8 and Sunday, September 9. This festival is free to attend, and is a rain or shine event!

The Northfield Arts Guild Theater presents CASTastrophe, a new delightful musical revue for the entire family, during Defeat of Jesse James Days (DJJD).  Performances are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, September 6 – 8,  7:30pm, at The Guild Theater, 411 Third Street West, Northfield.  

CASTastrophe is a marvelous mix-up of melodies and monologues where performers play roles in which they’d normally never be cast due to gender, age, race, etc.  The show is appropriate and fun for all ages and only runs about 75 minutes.
