Doors at 7pm.
This is an 18+ event.

Although we aim to cover our costs and hopefully bring in some money from this event, we value accessibility and want our community to be able to participate without barriers if at all possible. If the cost of this event is an issue for you, please email [email protected]. If you would like to purchase a ticket to donate, simply fill out the form and write in "Donated Ticket" instead of your name. We'll make sure it gets to someone who needs it!

Join us for an updated (and expanded) take on Tacos and Tie Dye, a crowd-favorite from Prides past! We're so excited for this collaborative fiber arts event alongside the Holland Area Arts Council, Lakeshore Fiber Arts Guild, Carolyn Stich, and Community Action House.

What you can expect: fabric dyeing (including tie-dye and a community dye bath), live demonstrations, handmade goods from local artists, and (of course) a food truck! Bring a cotton shirt or other item of your own to dye or paint, or choose from our upcycled items. You can also contribute to a collaborative weaving wall (that will be continued at the Festival) and try other fiber art activities with a focus on sustainability. We hope to see you there!

This is a free event, but donations will be accepted on behalf of all the organizations involved. (Swipe on each of these posts for a sneak peek at the preparation we've been doing!)
