Everybody loves a funky Arts Parade
You can be part of it! Make some art and join us. On this day, everyone can be an artist. Just push, pull, carry, wear or perform your art! You can walk alone or as a group -- as a family and neighbors, as a community organization, as a school or business. You can dress like a famous work of art or artist. You can walk with your kids and show off their art. You can decorate your bikes and strollers. The most important thing is to have fun. If you can't walk in the parade, find a spot along the parade route to cheer the bands, dance groups, artists, and large floats as they parade around the Wheaton triangle to the Marian Fryer Town Plaza at 2424 Reedie Drive, Wheaton, MD 20902. The parade starts at 10am. Don't miss it or you'll have to wait until next year to see this unique event in the DMV.
