FestiFools 2026
"Back to the FOOLture"
April 12th, 2026 4-5pm
Main Street, Downtown Ann Arbor
20 years ago, FestiFools exploded onto Ann Arbor’s Main Street with enormous kinetic papier-mâché sculptures created by a joyous collaboration of students and community members. Time sure flies when you’re having (Foolish) fun! Come help us celebrate "Back to the FOOLture", where we'll reconstruct our past, present, and FOOLture with bizarro, street-sized Puppets created and animated by U-M students and community members! Make a crazy costume, bring an old pan to bang on, or just come as you are, to help celebrate the 20th Annual FestiFools Spectacle on Main Street in downtown Ann Arbor! This not-2-B-missed one-hour only event starts at 4pm sharp!
