CAM Kids Day: Recycle and Bicycle

Saturday, April 5, 2025 from 11 a.m.–3 p.m.

Free. Drop-in and pre-registered programs available.

This month, we’re celebrating Earth Day, springtime, and the exhibition Cycle Thru! The Art of the Bike. Create art with MoBo Bicycle Collective and Visionaries + Voices or make music using everyday materials with Band in a Bus. Plan your next bike route with Tri-State Trails, see art bikes up close, and use recycled materials to make creative treasures. Plus, see the Cycle Thru! exhibition for free! 

At 2 p.m., join us for a very special bike parade at Mirror Lake in Eden Park. All ages and abilities are invited to participate as we ride around Mirror Lake with music and flair. Bring your streamers, bike horns, and enthusiasm—and don’t forget your helmet! Parade participants should meet behind the Seasongood Pavilion. We’ll kick off the parade promptly at 2 p.m. Parking is available at the museum or in Eden Park. In the event of heavy rain or severe weather, the parade may be cancelled. For weather related cancellations or event changes please visit CAM's Facebook (@Cincinnati Art Museum) and Instagram (@cincyartmuseum) channels.
