Twin Cities weekend events: Indie art fair, llamas, pancakes and more

This weekend in the Twin Cities, check out an indie artisan fair and an art show with pancakes and booze in Minneapolis, a Cambodian heritage celebration in St. Paul and more.

🎨 1. Get artsy

The Jackalope artisan fair combines food, family fun, music and handmade goods in a two-day market.

What's happening: Shop over 100 local vendors showcasing jewelry, paper goods, home decor, art, photography, food and more.

• The My Very Own Bed donation drive will be happening all day at the fair. Donate new twin-size sheet sets, blankets, mattress pads, pillows and stuffed animals to help kids in the Twin Cities.

What they're saying: "There is something so special about shopping from the makers themselves and hearing the stories behind the products made," says Melissa Kohout, the co-founder of Jackalope. "I love having a connection to the things I buy."
