The 974th Annual Powderhorn Art Sled Rally, 2026 "NEW & IMPROVED WITH INSURANCE!"

Schedule

Sat, 17 Jan, 2026 at 02:00 pm

UTC-06:00

Location

Powderhorn Park | Minneapolis, MN

A celebration nearly as old as Jesus! This year the ASR is "New and Improved with Insurance!" Certain not to be cancelled for any reason short of a direct nuclear strike. Whether or not there's snow we'll be there ready to drag you down the hill as long as our own butts are insured.
1) Build a sled and bring it to the park a little before 2pm! There are no rules about designs, sizes or materials. This is not a contest, it's a celebration!
2) Sign a waiver and crash your shit down the hill accepting cheers and adulation on the way the hell!
3) If you're not building anything please come and go hoarse cheering each creation as they explode into tiny paper shards. Sometimes there are five sleds sometimes there are fifty! The moderators will try to keep you in good cheer. Dress for the weather.
Details are also always at artsledrally.com!
Disclaimer: The Art Sled Rally is space organized for people from the surrounding neighborhoods to show up and create a joyful winter spectacle. The rotating group of artists who set up the slope do not necessarily condone any of the images or messages you may see slide down the hill. They are interested in keeping the space safe and joyful, they believe in free expression. Simply be advised. Before you slide, please know your audience. Before you watch, please prepare to hold your own feelings.
