Cultural Destinations Boutique

Over the past 4 years the Cultural Destinations Boutique has provided a space for almost 100 small cultural businesses to access the huge market of the Minnesota State Fair of almost 2 million visitors. This year applicants went through a short training session on how to sell at the Fair. They had a trial market at Qahwah House one of the participating business where we tested both display as well as payment systems. Then they all participated in a 4 day Kickoff to the Minnesota State Fair in May and gained some more experience. From August 27 to September 7 the Cultural Destinations Boutique will go live at its new location – Stall 112 at the International Bazaar.
