The Ebb & Flow River Arts Festival celebrates and enlivens the San Lorenzo River and the Tannery Arts Center through activities that unite arts and river enthusiasts, and connect the greater community. Through Ebb & Flow, together with artists, activists, neighbors, and strangers we’ve built relationships and energized the use of the river and the Tannery campus.

Ebb & Flow is a two-day, family friendly festival that will kick off with First Friday art making and performances on Cooper Street—followed by an evening dance party with DJ, new public art and firedancers adjacent to the Riverwalk. The revelry will resume on Saturday with a March for the River along the Riverwalk and a Festival at the Tannery Arts Center, which is located adjacent to the river. All activities are free and open to the community. Drop in for one or participate in the whole thing.

Ebb & Flow was launched in 2015 as a collaborative project between arts and environmental groups interested in bringing new attention to the river as our community’s primary source of drinking water, as well as a city park, recreational corridor, and home to more than 200 species of birds, fish and other wildlife.

Ebb & Flow is led by Arts Council Santa Cruz County with the following partners: City of Santa Cruz, Coastal Watershed Council, Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History, Radius Gallery, Tannery World Dance & Cultural Center, Santa Cruz City Arts, Downtown Santa Cruz, First Friday, Tannery Arts Center, Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History, local artists, musicians and dancers.
