The ARTmoves Parade is a celebration of performance and visual art, created by children, and in motion in the streets around Rice Park. Twin Cities youth dance groups will showcase their talent on two performance stops during the parade – one right in front of Ordway Center at 4th Street and Washington Street; and one at the Target Stage in Landmark Plaza. The parade also features artful parade units created in after school programs in schools and community centers. And, the parade will include other fun, musical surprises, sure to get everyone moving and grooving! The ARTmoves Parade is the highlight of the Festival for all involved; the parade route fills quickly with families and friends scrambling for a spot from which to view the parade.

2012 ARTmoves Parade is on Saturday, June 2, 2012 at 1PM around Rice Park.
