Yarnbombing

Fremont residents got out their crochet hooks and knitting needles in 2026!

Part of the Fremont Creates celebration for April, 2026, was a Yarnbombing event, from April 2-30.  We were excited with the participation throughout the entire Fremont Community. We’ll be back with a bigger and more exciting program in 2027!

What is Yarnbombing?

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 yarnbombing, 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.

• Who – We want EVERYONE to contribute to this community project - individual community members, knit/crochet clubs of all ages, faith-based groups, senior centers, scouts, and all others.

• Why – Feature the creativity of Fremont residents and liven up our city.

• When – We plan to have the installation in place on April 1, 2027. 

• Where – Our 2027 Yarnbombing installation venues are still being scoped out — check back here for the big reveal in early 2027!
