The Community Arts Center presents the 9th annual Tie-Dye Music Festival on Saturday, July 17 (rain date: Sunday, July 18), from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. The family event, supported in part by The National Endowment for the Arts, Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union, and Steve Weiss Music, connects the community through music and art, featuring live music all evening and tie-dye activities.
During the musical performances, attendees can take part in the creative and colorful process of tie-dying. Event t-shirts will be available for $10 and guests can tie-dye them at no additional charge. People may also bring up to two items of their own to tie-dye for a $5 charge. CAC staff, volunteers, and expert tie-dye artist Bob Deane will be on hand to help participants with the tie-dye process and with achieving the desired design and color of their finished products.
The CAC will not be selling food this year. Attendees may bring food and beverages. No pets are permitted. Indoor, single person restrooms will be available during the event. Admission is free, and no reservations are required.
Seating for the event is on the lawn. Attendees may bring blankets or chairs. For safety, we ask that parties spread out across the entire lawn to keep some distance. Attendees may bring a beach umbrella to use in the sunny areas.
We do ask that attendees wear masks if they are unvaccinated and not able to maintain social distance, especially while waiting in line to tie-dye.
The following musical artists will be performing:
Simple gifts (international acoustic folk and traditional)
Herb Mondros (eclectic folk rock)
Zydeco-A-Go-Go (Philadelphia’s most beloved zydeco band)
Plenty Pepper (5-piece Caribbean steel drum ensemble)

CAC is located at 414 Plush Mill Road in Wallingford.
