Join us for Inspired by the Land: Art in Parks, a vibrant new event celebrating creativity, nature, and community at Bothe-Napa Valley State Park on Saturday, June 14, from 11 AM to 4 PM. Held during California State Parks Week, this free, family-friendly festival features hands-on workshops, live music, guided hikes, and a pop-up art fair with local artists and makers.
Workshops and guided activities will take place throughout the park and along scenic trails, inviting participants to explore calligraphy with natural inks, ice tie-dye, nature journaling, knitting, and photography. Some workshops are drop-in friendly in the main event area, while others include short hikes to redwood groves and historic sites with advanced sign-ups. For the full lineup and times, visit napavalleystateparks.org/inspired-by-the-land.
