WHEATON ARTS PARADE & FESTIVAL

SAVE THE DATE: Sunday September 27th, 2026 On this day, everyone can be an artist. Just push, pull, carry, wear or perform your art! You can walk alone or as a group -- as a family and neighbors, as a community organization, as a school or business. You can dress like a famous work of art or artist. You can walk with your kids and show off their art. You can decorate your bikes and strollers. The most important thing is to have fun. If you can't walk in the parade, you can find a spot along the parade route to cheer the bands, dance groups, artists, and large floats. The festival has more than 65 booths for art vendors, food vendors and a Kids Zone with free face painting, balloon twisting and art making. The festival area is filled with artists displaying and selling their original work and with community organizations and county agencies sharing info about their programs, giveaways and art making. The afternoon features MoCo's top talent, including musicians presented by Strathmore and Carpe Diem Arts, showcases by local schools and dance companies galore from ballet to hip hop. The entertainment is as diverse as the Wheaton community, from Latin rhythms to rock and roll. Join is in the heart of Wheaton for the 10th Annual Wheaton Arts Parade!
