Join BSB on October 5 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Mill Hill Park as they commemorate all of their summer programming, classes, and fiber art exhibit with a public yarn bombing in the heart of Downtown Trenton!

The Rain Date is Sunday, October 6 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Fiber Bombing is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colorful displays of knitted, crocheted, or other fiber– rather than paint or chalk. It is the action or activity of covering objects or structures in public places with decorative knitted or crocheted material, as a form of street art.
