Event Description

Come join us in the streets of downtown Ann Arbor to celebrate commUNITY, creativity, and some good ol’ fashioned Foolishness!!

FestiFools is one of Ann Arbor’s cultural treasures. It is a HUGE-mongous public art spectacular, created by members of the community and U of M students. Magnificent, colorful, bizarre, human-powered papier-mâché puppets join thousands of Foolish friends frolicking about downtown for one fun-filled hour!
