Question 1

Where is the event?

Accepted Answer

The event takes place in Swede Hollow Park, which is tucked away between 7th St E and Payne Avenue on the East Side of Saint Paul.

Question 2

Where can I enter the park?

Accepted Answer

We recommend entering the park from the Drewry Tunnel.  This is the location where all directed paths and carts will be taking visitors to Art In The Hollow.  At the top of that entrance, you will also find a some of our participating artists, The East Side Art Council Art Mobile, The St. Paul Public Library, as well as food trucks.

You can also enter from the Upper Swede Hollow Park and take the 100+ step stairway through the forest (It’s beautiful and unique way to enter, but a treacherous hike back).

The East Heritage Park will gain you access through the north end of the park.  It’s a beautiful walk through nature and worthy of its length.

To enter the park from the south side, you can gain access at the intersection of Payne Avenue and 7th Street East, otherwise known as the Bruce Vento Regional Trail.

Each of these entrances have some parking, but it is limited.  Overall, we still recommend parking at large lot next to the old Hamm Brewery and taking advantage of the designated path or the golf cart shuttles to and from Art In The Hollow

Question 3

What bus lines take me near the event?

Accepted Answer

Routes 61 and 74 will take you right to the south entrance of Swede Hollow Park (The intersection of Payne Ave and 7th Street East)

Route 64 will take you to the intersection of Payne Avenue and Minnehaha, which is only blocks away from the Drewry Tunnel Entrance.

Question 4

Where can I park my vehicle?

Accepted Answer

While street parking is free and available, it can be sparse and unreliable. Your best bet would be to park at the large lot next to the old Hamm's Brewery and either walk or take advantage of our golf carts to and from the hollow.

While you’re there, you can visit some of the artist booths we’ve located in that area, grab a brew or a Swede Hollow Inspired cocktail at the St. Paul Brewery, and then enjoy the Story Stroll presented by The St. Paul Public Library on the way.

Question 5

How do I get from the parking lot down to Swede Hollow?

Accepted Answer

We have a few golf carts that will be offering rides for guests going to and from Art In The Hollow.  Big shout out to The St. Paul Brewery for providing these.

If you don’t mind the walk, we’ll have a path clearly marked out with signs as well as the St. Paul Public Library’s Story Stroll for your enjoyment.
