Join us in the garden for a host of fun events this fall:
Woodlands Garden is getting ready to host its inaugural M.A.Y. (Music, Art, & Youth) Fair on Saturday, May 21 between 11 am and 3 pm to celebrate our community’s young talent.
The Garden’s lawn will be transformed into an artists’ market with over 20 booths, where youth (grades 2-12) will create and sell their own artwork and crafts. In addition to the artists’ market, there will be musical performances to showcase their vocal and instrumental skills with the guitar, ukulele, piano, and cello. These musical performances will be held in the Pavilion and outdoor performance stage in the Children’s Natural Play Area.
“We are very excited for the first M.A.Y. Fair on May 21, a day of musical performances and an artists’ market set in the natural backdrop of Woodlands Garden,” says Kate Baltzell, Executive Director. “This event is an opportunity to showcase the creative talent of the community and engage the next generation in appreciating all that our greenspace has to offer. Great volunteers, supportive sponsors, and bright artists will ensure this event is fun for all ages.”
This event is free to the public and will take place rain or shine. A special thanks to the sponsors of M.A.Y. Fair for their support: Rock with Bock, Emory Alliance Credit Union, 2 Crafty Chicks, Kaleidoscope Studio, Color Wheel, and Revisioned Furniture Company.
Thank you for helping to make M.A.Y. Fair a success!
A big HIGH FIVE goes out to the sponsors for their financial support (listed below), the M.A.Y. Fair Planning Committee, day of volunteers, Youth Artists, Young Musicians, and all the visitors who braved the rain to cheer on these amazingly talented youth!
