Light refreshments will be provided.
IN THE COURTYARD
The fine folks at the Corset Building, along with a host of volunteers, have been working diligently to curate a park-like outdoor space adjacent to the historic factory. The courtyard will host much of the day's activities, including live mural painting, music, children's activities and food vendors. Make sure to stop by the petting zoo and visit the adorable fainting goats! Is it threatening to rain on your parade? Fret not; if inclement weather arises, the outdoor portion of Mural Fest will be relocated indoors!
Feeling creative? The festival will offer a unique variety of opportunities to channel your inner artist, including contributing to a community mural, community mosaic building, and a splatter tent! The Splat Sumthin' splatter tent is stocked with rain ponchos, paints and the place to unleash your inner Jaxson Pollock! While you're at the Corset Building, don't forget to check out Magpie Custom Creations and Pottery Works Cortland to sign up for future creative classes!

Indoors, you'll find a wide array of creators, makers, and artists vending their wares throughout the first floor. All of the permanent shops will also be joining in the festivities with special displays, sales and promotions. Cinch Art Space and Crown City Curioities are brimming with local art, vintage and unique pieces. Area 51 is filled with games and custom creations.
