FRIDAY
Art-A-Whirl
Like we wrote last year: “The crowds are big, but so are your options.” There are over 1,600 artists showcasing their work at over 100 locations. But like Disney World or the Louvre, you can’t expect to see everything all in one day—hell, you shouldn’t expect to see it all over three days. But you can still have a good time. If you want to go big, make your way through an artists’ building (Northrup, California, Grain Belt, Q.arma, Flux, Holland, Thorp, or Casket are all great places), hop a trolley to a lunch spot or brewery (Broken Clock, Earl Giles, Stanley’s, and Momo Cafe are all tasty), then hit up a smaller space (Turbo Tim’s, Moth Oddities, and Quincy Hall have guest artists coming in). If you’re really feeling it, stay even longer for free live music at 331 or hit up Whirleygig at Indeed. And while parking is possible at Art-A-Whirl (a lot of these places have big lots and nice off-street options), this is also a bike-friendly event. Or score a free ride via Metro Transit. Find more info for AAW online. Free. 5–10 p.m. Fri.; noon to 8 p.m. Sat.; noon to 5 p.m. Sun. Through Sunday—Jessica Armbruster

BARK Live: A Barkyard BBQ
When this event first came across our desk, I thought to myself, “Dogs, in the freaking Convention Center? Is Louis C.K. playing that thing again?” But seriously, folks, apparently there’s an outdoor plaza attached to our triple-bulbous civic gathering space, and it’s going to the dogs. The chaotic-seeming BARK Live will feature "sniffs, surprises, and plenty of tail wags (and free stuff)," per organizers, plus yard games, dog caricature artists, loads of photo-ops, and human-grade food from MeeMa’s Food Truck. Considering the host company is “a leading global omnichannel brand” (???) we’re guessing you and your pooch will be subjected to ceaseless marketing, but hey, bringing people and dogs together is one of Madison Avenue’s lesser crimes. Free. Noon to 4 p.m. Minneapolis Convention Center, 1301 Second Ave. S., Minneapolis; find more info here.—Jay Boller
