Call for Art - Ashfield Lighted Boat Parade

Ashfield is holding a Lighted Boat Parade and you are invited to apply even you don’t own your own boat.

March 31, 5pm is the deadline to apply. Twelve individuals or teams will receive $1,000 each to create lighted artworks that will float in the Lighted Boat Parade on Ashfield Lake, September 12, 2026.

The Lighted Boat Parade is a free event open to all, and celebration of art, culture, and our local landscape meant to connect people at Ashfield Lake. We are looking for innovative floating artworks that transform the lake into a festive, visually striking performance at dusk.

Open to all, details in the Call for Art. VISIT FOR MORE INFO: Ashfield.org/publicart.
