Mural BLITZ

August 15th - September 15th

We want to bring the full palette to the perch! All the structures could use some more color and we hope your paint brush can put it on. If you are an aspiring artist, a painting pro or a wannabe, we would love for you to come and leave your mark on one of our surfaces. We will cook for you and host you all month long and tailor your visit to your needs as a creator.

Perch Fest 2.0

August 25h-27th

We are looking for people to teach workshops, play music, and lead awesome wholesome activities. Please reach out if you might be interested!

Bike to Common Ground Fair

September 18th - 20th

The fair was undoubtedly a highlight of our 2022. This coming fall we will be helping to lead a 3-day bicycle trip to Unity, Maine for the 2023 fair and would love it if you were able to roll with us. Send us a message if interested and we will e-mail you the deets.
