Learn how—and make—your own tie dye, enjoy great food and beverages, and listen to up-and-coming music and support Loudoun Hunger Relief!

At the Art of Tie Dye Festival and Free Next Wave Concert, presented by the Hillsboro Ruritans and the Town of Hillsboro on May 23, 2026, get ready to dive into a world of color and creativity and help those in need by supporting Loudoun Hunger Relief. Expert tie-dye artists will provide the story of the art of tie-dye and give you instructions on how to create your own masterpiece.

Your ticket (link below) gets you an instruction session, a T-shirt, materials, and time at the ink station to create your very own groovy design.

In addition to tie dye, the free Next Wave Concert will feature five stand-out up-and-coming young bands hailing from Loudoun County high schools appearing on The Gap Stage starting at 5 pm. Admission is free, with suggested donations or food items for Loudoun Hunger Relief.
