FoolMoon: U-M Student Luminary-Making Workshop

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a Fool with wings!

FoolMoon returns to downtown Ann Arbor with light-filled art, street dancing, and Foolish fun! This year’s theme, “Fools of a Feather”, will invite winged creatures of all kinds to light up Ann Arbor’s streets!

Join for this free workshop to make your very own light-up sculpture to bring to FoolMoon. Have a big idea you’re excited to turn into a FoolMoon “Fools of a Feather” creation?!

At our workshops, we will provide ALL supplies and hands-on help needed to build your very own luminary sculpture!

Then, on Friday, April 10th, FoolMoon participants will gather at a “Constellation Station” – the front lawn of UMMA. Stepping off at 8pm, the homemade luminary processionals will dance and cavort through downtown Ann Arbor, winding through neighborhoods and past restaurants. Hundreds of luminary sculptures (and their makers!) will pour onto Washington Street in front of Grizzly Peak for a Luminous Celebration of lights, LIVE music, and dancing!

Make sure to bring your Luminary Sculpture to FoolMoon on April 10th, 2026!
