At ClydeFEST, a celebration of renowned folk artist and “critter-master”, Clyde Jones — and a one-of-a-kind, unique Chatham County event — kids play original colorful games inspired by Clyde, get creative with Clyde-inspired art in “Critter-ville”, meet “Cycler,” a robot teaching about recycling, visit with Georgia folk artist, Peter Loose and pet his gigantic African tortoises, listen to the Northwood Jazz Band, and Sarah “Honeybee” Osborne, an incredible 18-year-old singer-songwriter. We’ll welcome the Bouncing Bulldogs International Rope-Skipping Team, Mr. Rainbow the Clown, and Happy Dan the Magic Man. Enjoy the drum circle, storytelling, face painting and henna art. Critter raffle and critter making-demo and auction … and so much more.
Food available on-site from Chatham Marketplace, Barney’s Hot Dogs, Daisy Cakes, Triple J Ice Cream, & Shot of Spro
