Run to join the fun at University of Virginia’s Festival of the Moving Creature as several man-made giants emerge at sunset for an illuminated parade through the heart of UVA Grounds.

Community members of all ages are encouraged to join in with their own works of puppetry for a magical night of wonder. Free, 7pm. UVA Arts Grounds. @uvacreatures
