In its 32nd year\, this special weekend brings to Reston over 200 artists from around the country who produce high quality\, hand-crafted\, and one-of-a-kind artworks.

Performers will process through the Festival streets adorned in intricate sculptural costumes created by the artist that simultaneously make their bodies anonymous and hyper visible.  Using the archetype of the traveler and the anthropomorphic representation of mother nature\, this performance humanizes the figure of the immigrant and celebrates the power and beauty of nature. \nHoesy Corona is a Latinx Queer artist who has been exploring climate migration in work created over the last decade.
