Get ready to build, create, and play at PopUpPlay’s Big Arty Build, a one-of-a-kind Collaborative Arts Fest at Cherry Street Pier! Free and open to the public. All ages welcome.

This colorful, hands-on event invites families and creatives of all ages to help transform the Pier into a GIANT Sculpture Garden. Using fun materials like cardboard, pool noodles, bamboo, and more, you’ll team up with others to bring big, wacky ideas to life.

What to Expect:

  • Build and add to large-scale sculptures
  • Join Cherry Street’s Got Talent, a fun, low-pressure kids show with music, dance, comedy, and more (sign-up coming soon!)
  •  Create a moving masterpiece with Scribble Bots from Brooklyn Robot Foundry
  • Extra activities from partners like Nimble Craft and Chelsea Does It

Whether you’re making art, performing, or just soaking up the creativity, this is a day full of imagination, color, and community.

What to Know Before You Go:
Parking on-site will be limited due to construction on the I-95 CAP. However, many great ways to access the Waterfront include walking and biking along the Delaware River Trail, rideshare, and public transit.
