PARADE & FESTIVAL
The Recycle Challenge Parade & Festival is a program of our non-profit Literacy Project International that's a vibrant community event that celebrates creativity and sustainability. Taking place from April 14 to May 5, 2025, in various locations across New Orleans, this festival invites participants to showcase innovative costumes made from recycled materials.
The program typically involves a series of challenges, games, and fun activities or events that encourage participants to celebrate with effective ways to reduce waste from landfills.
The event features DIY demonstrations, hands-on crafting and recycling stations, workshops, and live music, all centered around the theme "Connecting Us." With activities ranging from free experiences to sliding-scale master workshops and an informal parade, the festival aims to inspire environmental awareness and foster community connections while having fun. Join us for an exciting event that is free to the general public with an RSVP! We encourage attendees to bring recyclable items as part of our commitment to sustainability. In addition to the main festivities, we will be offering master workshops ranging from $100 to $250, covering a variety of topics. As part of our community-focused initiative, there will also be volunteer experiences associated with community builds, providing a great opportunity to give back while learning valuable skills. Don’t miss this chance to learn, engage, and contribute to a greener future! Be sure to RSVP, bring your recyclable items, and join us in making a positive impact in our community. We look forward to seeing you there
