FESTIVAL DETAILS

Made in Camp is a choose-your-own-adventure festival that invites you to explore artist studios, maker spaces and creative manufacturers in Camp Washington. Start on either end of Camp Washington and work your way up/down, or pick a place to start in the middle. No matter where you go, there will be something to discover.

See our full 2025 schedule!

  • Explore over 40 creative studios, galleries, and makerspaces! Grab a map and dive into a neighborhood full of art, music, food, and hands-on fun.

  • The neighborhood parade featuring the Heavy Metal Marching Band and Show of Hands puppets will take a stroll around the block as participants depart from Wave Pool, head up to the Camp Washington Gateway sign where a representative from Camp Washington Chili will crown the first Cheese Coney king or queen. Then head back down Sidney Ave towards Binski’s where a coney party awaits.

    The parade departs Wave Pool at 3 pm.

    Want to be in the parade? The more the merrier! Stop by Wave Pool by 3 pm to join the band or become a puppeteer. You can also show your love for the coney by marching in the parade with a coney sign you can make earlier in the day at the American Sign Museum.

  • We're rounding off Made In Camp with a coney party in conjunction with our friends at Camp Washington Chili at Binski's Bar, we'll have DJ Paloma and the Magicals playing some tunes to end a great day in Camp!
