How do we be come birds? It all starts with paper and a method called Nebuta. Leading into the festival week artist George Ferrandi will teach participants this handmade process. On the evening of July 15th these creatures will take flight in a parade down Main Street accompanied by low-fi radio music orchestrated by Kathy Kennedy. Join us to release these illuminated birds into the night sky or grab a radio and join Kathy in the musical creation. Together we will make our way towards the Village Hall, where choreographer Sandy Silva and her ensemble will usher us into the space filled with rhythm, voice, and movement. You will not want to miss this unique experience!

Hosted down Main Street and Village Hall
