Art

Wonder around every corner.  Creativity comes to life throughout the festival grounds through interactive art, aerial performances, fire dancers, stilt walkers, art cars, and immersive installations. Art isn’t confined to a gallery here—it’s woven into every part of the experience.  Keep your eyes open. The unexpected is often the most memorable.
