Fremont Fair AND Solstice Parade and Festival - This weekend! - Friday-Sunday, June 15th through June 17th 2012 - Various locations and times

I have wanted to go to this event for years and it never has seemed to work out - hopefully this will be the year!!

Check out The Fremont Fair and Solstice Parade! There will be a kickoff party the night before on Friday the 15th, performances, tons of live music, yoga (preregister), art cars (art painted cars), a doggie parade ($10 fee per dog family), all kinds of food available for a fee, beer (and more!) gardens - cash only, 300+ art and more vendors, and of course, the Solstice Parade & Festival - image below!

Free collaborative sensory arts and fun for everyone with activities such as:

• Growing Brain Sculpture – Add to our community sculpture, come back and see how it evolves all day long!
• Chalk Art – Pure fun, no explanation needed!
• Smell Haiku – get inspiration from a variety of smells, learn what a haiku is, and write a poem!
• Paint-By-Neighbor – Side-by-side with your neighbors, you can add your voice to a community-sized painting or create a smaller work of art
• MusicMakers – Make simple musical instruments with a recycled twist!
• ArtCycle – Take old junk and turn it into creative treasure! Art-making and recycling blend in our DIY recipe to ArtCycle.
• Paint with Your Food – Learn that playing with your food just went to a whole new level.

I LOVE this verbage from the Fremont Arts Council about the Solstice Parade:

" We celebrate the longest day of the year through profound street theater, public spectacle, and a kaleidoscope of joyous human expression. "
