The Daisy Art Parade is an intentional celebration of community creativity — a chance for Roanokers to come together, make big bold art, and parade it down the street in a spirit of joy and neighborly pride. Your participation builds connection, brings stories to life, and reflects the heart of our city.

This series also supports It’s Here, Roanoke, an initiative to strengthen the city’s arts ecosystem and connect residents, artists, and organizations through collaborative cultural experiences.
