You are sure to be amazed, or at least entertained, by what people can do with thrown away or recycled items. Come for the art, the entertainment, the information, or just ’cause you’re curious; it’s the annual Recycled Arts Festival at Esther Short Park taking place this year Saturday and Sunday, June 23-24, 2018.
This is one of my favorite festivals to visit. In past years, I’ve seen bird feeders made from cups and saucers, aprons made from plastic grocery bags, bags and coin purses made from chip bags and drink pouches, wind chimes made from kitchen utensils…and sooo much more!
But, the Recycled Arts Festival is about so much more than art…or recycling. It’s free family fun and entertainment. It’s education. It’s, it’s…well, it’s an experience!
The Procession of the Species is also part of the Recycled Arts Festival, and features a parade of costumes, floats, music, and dancing with animal and element themes. The Procession is a celebration of community and the natural world through all forms of art. Make your own mask or costume at one of their workshops (or at home) and join the parade. The parade will start at 11:00 am on Sunday.
The 13th Annual Recycled Arts Festival will be open on Saturday from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm; and Sunday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
