FoolMoon
This annual outdoor festival features a vast array of huge, quirky, and beautiful handmade illuminated sculptures as well as interactive installations, a beer tent, and more. All invited to drum on pots and pans and dress in homemade illuminated floral costumes to welcome spring in the spirit of this year's theme, “FoolBloom.” A parade departs from the corner of Washington & Ashley at 8 p.m. and travels throughout downtown before returning for a street party with dancing and live music by the local jazz and funk ensemble The Ruckus and DJ PBH. Paraders are invited to assemble at one of 3 “constellation stations”: the U-M Art Museum front lawn, the Kerrytown Farmers Market, and the Slauson Middle School parking lot. Many Kerrytown, Main St., and State St. merchants are open late tonight. Limited luminary-making kits available for purchase at Sweetwaters on W. Washington, ACE Barnes Hardware on W. Stadium, and the Found Gallery in Kerrytown. 8–11 p.m., Downtown Ann Arbor. Free. bit.ly/festifoolsstudio.
