Sunday's floating art exhibition in Norfolk is a love letter to its waterways

Lindsay Horne, inspired by the Bosch Parade on the Netherlands' Dommel River, has organized the Hague Parade, a floating art exhibition on Norfolk's waterways. The event debuts on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at the intersection of Mill Street and Mowbray Arch, ending at the Chrysler Museum of Art. Nine artist teams designed sustainable, leave-no-trace floats using canoes, kayaks, and rain barrels. Participants include students from the Governor's School for the Arts, the Barry Art Museum, and California artist Stan Clark. The parade aims to celebrate water rather than lament rising sea levels, with hopes to grow into a larger community weekend featuring a boat race and family activities.
