For more than 20 years, expert craftsmen and women have come to this event to coax intriguing art out of ordinary blocks of wood. The festival also includes a craft show, vendor stands, live music performed by local talent and several activities for the kids, including carnival games, an egg drop competition from the Historic Tower, and a treasure hunt for quarters in the sand at the beach.

Food will be sold by the Friends of the Park group.

Lake Bronson State Park is located two miles east of the town of Lake Bronson. The park access is off of County Highway 28.

This International Woodcarvers Festival is free with a Minnesota state parks permit, which cost $5 for a day pass and $25 for an annual permit.
