Make it a three-day magical midsummer at the Arboretum!

Stop by July 16–17 to watch artists Maria Bullock and Erin Cox bring our Willow Village to life as they weave three child-sized wigwams right before your eyes. It’s a rare chance to see creativity in action—and a fun experience for all ages.

Then come back on July 18 for Summer Fest, where imagination takes over! Dive into hands-on crafting for kids and grown-ups alike—create whimsical willow wands, charming fir cone gnomes, and more. Add your creations to the Willow Village or take a bit of the magic home with you.

Plus, enjoy favorite Summer Fest traditions like face painting and playful photo boards. Yay Big ice cream will be back, and we will have free ice cream coupons while they last. It’s a joyful celebration of creativity, community, and summer—perfect for the whole family.
