Earth Day Art Parade 2026

Wed, April 22, 2026
3:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Meet on the South Oval

Join us on Wednesday, April 22nd at 3:30pm for this public participatory parade.

Our parade route will start on the South Oval behind Hale Hall, and follow the route of the now-buried Neil Run Stream all the way from the South Oval to Iuka Ravine (around 1 mile of walking total). The lineup for the event begins at 3:30, and the parade departs on its trail at 4pm.

Like last year, this parade includes floats, costumes, and banners all inspired by our local landscape ecology and made by OSU campus community members. Visit our website here to see documentation of last year's event.

If you have a creative offering to share in our procession, please reach out to kline.434@osu.edu to get involved.
