Treasures on the Trail

An Annual Earth Day Art Treasure Hunt

We’re announcing the first annual Red Wing Arts Treasures on the Trail, an Earth Day finders-keepers art-in-nature program.  It is the perfect reason to explore Red Wing’s Trails the week surrounding Earth Day.  Make it an annual family tradition!

When: Starts Sunday morning April 18th and ends Saturday afternoon April 24th

Where: Red Wing trails listed below.

Our community is alive with creativity.  And through Treasures on the Trail friends and family members of all ages are encouraged to connect with the wonders of nature's creations that surround Red Wing. Earth Day is widely celebrated by many Red Wing organizations.   Red Wing Arts designed the week-long program to celebrate and bring attention to the arts, as well as the natural beauty of the Red Wings parks and greenways.  Those who find the trail treasures get to keep them.    

This year, Frank and Bell Barr, long time fairy home builders, of The Faerie House, have been commissioned by Red Wing Arts to build 33  fairy homes that will be placed along Red Wing Trails. So, let the Fairies be your guide as you search for one of their whimsical homes hidden in plain sight.  Once found, the fairies have granted permission to relocate their house to your home. Yes really, take it home!  If you are not the lucky one who  finds the treasure, fairy houses will be on sale at Red Wing Arts (418 Levee St - open Thur-Sun 12-4pm)
