Yarnbombing

One highlight of the celebration for April, 2026, is a Yarnbombing event, from April 1-30, 2026. We look forward to the entire Fremont Community participating.

Yarnbombing is a colorful and playful form of street art that covers public objects – trees, benches, railings, etc with knitted or crocheted yarn pieces. Our goal is to create community yarn bombing, so each covered object is made up of multiple smaller crocheted or knitted squares, rectangles, circles, etc., attached to create a fun, colorful, and funky art display.  

Learn more about the Yarnbombing project.
