About the Fremont Arts Council
The Fremont Arts Council (FAC), engages community to cultivate the spirit of celebration where everyone is an artist. The FAC believes that art helps build stronger communities and that Fremont is a state of mind, not a zip code. We welcome the participation of everyone regardless of who they are, or what they think or believe.
The Fremont Solstice Parade & Celebration is the signature event f the FAC. We celebrate the longest day of the year through profound street theater, public spectacle, and a kaleidoscope of joyous human expressions. The FAC also creates and cares for public art like the Fremont Troll, and engages everyone year-round in workshops and events including May Day, Luminata, Troll-o-ween, and Feast of the Winter Solstice.
