WAYZATA — The Wayzata West Metro Chamber of Commerce has officially announced the return of the Wayzata Art Experience (WAE) for 2025, promising more artists, more live music, and an expanded footprint for one of Lake Minnetonka’s signature summer events.
Set along the scenic shores of Wayzata Bay, the annual festival will take place Saturday and Sunday, June 22–23, transforming Lake Street into a celebration of regional art, music, and lakeside living.
Over 150 juried artists are expected to showcase their work this year, alongside live performances from local and regional musical acts, dozens of food trucks and vendors, a beer and wine garden, a classic wooden boat exhibition, and the crowd-favorite vintage and exotic car show. As always, the event is free and open to the public.
“This is one of our premier events, and each year it grows in both participation and community impact,” said Brooke Beyer, President of the Wayzata Area Chamber. “We’re especially excited about the enhancements in 2025—including extended music programming, additional interactive art stations, and a larger footprint along the newly revitalized Panoway.”
In partnership with the Wayzata Conservancy and local sponsors, the Chamber expects to see record-breaking attendance, buoyed by the event’s lakeside location and increasing popularity with both residents and visitors.
Now in its 19th year, the Wayzata Art Experience began as a modest sidewalk show and has grown into a regional destination event celebrating creativity, community, and the charm of Wayzata.
