Unleash your creativity and celebrate imagination, sustainability, and Galoshans community spirit at RIG Arts FREE Family Prop-Making Workshops.

Using recycled materials, families will work with local artists to design and build vibrant, eco-friendly Halloween props perfect for the Galoshans Festival Parade, Street Party, or for their own celebrations. 

Whether you’re a parent/guardian, a young creative, or simply curious, come along and help bring the Galoshans Festival to life. 

Open to all ages, but children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Spaces are limited so booking in advance is essential.
