13th Annual Recycled Arts Festival - Insider Inclusive
Why should you go to the Recycled Arts Festival?
The Art! Of course, why else would you go to a "Recycled Arts Festival?" We have over 130 vendors all specialized in working with recycled materials. Don't miss the Sculpture Garden where you can vote for your favorite entry. Come be inspired and find a few treasures to take home.
Procession of the Species and Children's Art: This event is about building community! You can be a part of the fun and creativity by making costumes and masks (sign up for free costume workshops), and participating in the parade. Or, come down to the park and watch the Procession wind its way through the park by Brazilian MARACATUpdx beats. Kids can also get creative in the Children's Art Area throughout the weekend!
The Entertainment: We have a range of performers and bands throughout the weekend for your enjoyment. Relax in the shade listening to the music or laugh with JuggleMania or admire the live birds of prey with The Falconer.
The Food: What's a festival without some great food trucks and ice cream?!
The Community: The Clark County Recycled Arts Festival is one of the biggest annual events in the area. Come explore with your family and friends and make some new friends!
