Musketaquid Earth Day 2021 Celebration

Part of Artfest!

Earth Float Workshops, River Launch, and Voices on the Air  

April 24, 2021

Join us on April 24 at The Umbrella Arts Center for song, art and nature crafting, and outdoor fun!

Our scaled down Musketaquid Earth Day Celebration continues our most valuable traditions like building Earth Floats of natural materials. While crafting, participants will be serenaded by live performers, Voices on the Air, celebrating the beauty of air and song with their vocals. After building, families will launch their Earth Floats on the Concord River in an individualized River Ceremony with CC King. 

To limit numbers, participants will be assigned a time frame. Group 1 is at 12 noon. Group 2 is at 1:30pm. Group 3 is at 3:00pm. All activities will be outdoors, masks are required, and all participants are required to register ahead of time. Rain date is Sunday, April 25. Advance registration and health safety survey are required. Learn more

"Change is in the Air" Art Walk

April 25-May 31

As part of The Umbrella Arts & Environment’s hybrid Earth Day Celebration, we are organizing an Art Walk that approximates the traditional Musketaquid Earth Day Parade’s path through Concord Center and safely celebrates this year’s Earth Day theme of Air. The Art Walk exhibits outdoor, air-inspired artwork that engages the element of air, whether banner, windchime, or pinwheel. The Art Walk opens on April 25 and runs through May 31. We are grateful to the Town of Concord Division of Natural Resources and the Concord Land Conservation Trust for hosting the inaugural Umbrella Art Walk.
