Arriving on Memorial Day Weekend through August 2024
Location: Throughout Downtown Glen Ellyn
What? Think, Cows on Parade, but bugs!
Embrace the summer of the cicada. Arriving on Memorial Day weekend through the end of the summer, twenty-five hand painted cicada sculptures will be lining the streets in flowerpots, windows and trees throughout Downtown Glen Ellyn.
These 18-inch cicada sculptures are 8 lbs. each and made of plaster with copper legs. Each sculpture will be hand painted via local artist and storefront owners.
This event is part of Cicada Parade-a, a large-scale collaborative art project organized by The Insect Asylum. This project celebrates Illinois’ 17-year and 13-year cicada broods.
A map of cicada locations will be available Memorial Day Weekend.
