The Art Garden

The Art Garden’s tent and barn are filled with free, open-ended activities for festival-goers to create, explore, play, and make art!  Art Garden volunteers have spent weeks preparing repurposed materials for creative reuse, including thousands of cardboard creatures for people to paint and carry in the Green River Parade. Activities are designed to encourage people to learn from and inspire each other, and installation pieces encourage creative community interactions. No matter your age, ability, or experience, the Art Garden’s tent has something for you to enjoy!

Henry The Juggler

Henry the Juggler is wanted by audiences everywhere for his zany attempts to defy the laws of gravity. He juggles any number of balls, clubs, rings and he balances strange items on the tip of his nose. Everything is accomplished wordlessly as Henry uses body language (and road signs!) to express himself.

Magician Michael Wald

A showman of the first order with a tip of the hat to vaudeville, slapstick and “one-liner” comedy, Michael Wald has been entertaining audiences with magic for over 40 years. With astonishing magic, entertaining games, and lots of audience involvement, together with edge-of-your-seat hilarity, his performance guarantees to captivate kids of all ages.

The Green River Festival Parade

This year, the parade will be led by Philadelphia’s beloved seven-piece band Snacktime, who blaze a path cut from their soul, funk, punk, jazz, hip-hop, and R&B influences. The parade will also feature puppets from Muzen Theater, who celebrate enlightenment, community and creative activism through large and small scale theater events. Meet us at the Art Garden at 6pm on Saturday night to join the parade!
