The 4th annual Fox Festival Parade will kick off the Feast of the East in Capitol Square on Saturday, June 15 at noon.

Please join us – this participatory parade was started to celebrate the Fox Library, community, creativity, and Arlington wildlife. It has grown to include messages of environmental activism of all kinds. Contribute your voice – come to a workshop or make your own costumes and signs.

Are you concerned about climate change?

Habitat loss?

Ocean plastic? Speak up!

Make a mask, banner or puppet inspired by local animals in a free workshop with artist Sara Peattie at the Fox Library. Kids can participate in afterschool workshops with Sara at the Thompson School. New family workshops at the Hardy School led by artist Kari Percival will celebrate the school’s mascot, the playful dolphin, and advocate for preserving the health of our oceans.

You can also DIY – make your own costume, flag, or signs inspired by the theme of nature, animals, and environmental stewardship at home with family and friends.

Know how to juggle or stilt?

Twirl a baton?

Play the kazoo? Want to make a giant moveable sculpture of a fox on wheels? Please join us!

All are welcome in the parade.
