Celebrating Creativity and Play

The Chatham Arts Council is once again sponsoring a day of joy, creativity, play and happiness…and it’s all FREE! Taking place on the grounds of the Chatham Agricultural and Conference Center in Pittsboro, NC, this event fills the air with music, laughter, chatter, delicious aromas and sunshine. I highly recommend you come into town for this family-friendly event.
Here’s a snippet from the Chatham Arts Council’s website:
“Remember how great it felt to play outside when you were a kid? Running for running’s sake? Hula-hooping, playing games, blowing bubbles, creating new worlds? ClydeFEST, our beloved kids’ folk arts festival, has been bringing that feeling back for families in Chatham for more than 2 decades.
From face painting, bubbles, and hula hoops to arts projects and good old-fashioned carnival games, ClydeFEST has an activity for all ages. Offering a full-day of screen-free fun, the festival is a place for kids to get messy in Critterville, painting their very own Clyde critter cut-out, then visiting all the community booths on the field to create a multitude of masterpieces. And we clean up all the mess!”
