For five days in June, downtown Menomonie becomes an open-air studio. Walls become canvases. Downtown streets become viewing paths. For five days, creativity moves out into the open and adds a fresh layer to the city’s historic core.
Murals in Menomonie, taking place June 24–28, 2026, brings large-scale public art to buildings throughout downtown. Artists will transform blank walls into bold, detailed works that reflect energy, movement, and community spirit. The process itself becomes part of the experience, as each mural develops over the course of the week.
Downtown Menomonie
Menomonie’s downtown is already known for its walkable streets, locally owned shops, and inviting places to gather. During mural week, that familiar setting feels different. Side streets draw attention. Brick facades that once blended into the background become focal points. A simple afternoon downtown turns into something worth slowing down for.
Watching an artist at work adds a new dimension to the experience. Sketches take shape, color builds layer by layer, and large-scale images emerge where there was once empty space. It is an opportunity to see creativity in motion while enjoying the rhythm of downtown at the same time.
A Lasting Addition to the Landscape
When the week concludes, the murals remain. They become new landmarks woven into Menomonie’s everyday scenery. Future visits will include these works as part of the landscape, adding depth and character to the downtown experience.
Murals in Menomonie offers more than a moment. It adds something lasting to the city’s visual identity while creating five days that feel active, engaging, and distinctly Menomonie.
Plan a late June getaway and experience Menomonie as it transforms, one mural at a time.
