Description

Arriving on Memorial Day Weekend through August 2024

What? Think, Cows on Parade, but bugs!

Embrace the summer of the cicada. Arriving on Memorial Day weekend through the end of the summer, twenty-five hand painted cicada sculptures will be lining the streets in flowerpots, windows and trees all throughout Downtown Glen Ellyn.

These 18-inch cicada sculptures are 8 lbs. each and made of plaster with copper legs. Each sculpture will be hand painted via local artist and storefront owners. 

This event is part of Cicada Parade-a, a large-scale collaborative art project organized by The Insect Asylum. This project celebrates Illinois’ 17-year and 13-year cicada broods.
