Join us at Ebb & Flow: Vista Hermosa Natural Park!

Heidi Duckler Dance proudly presents the 7th annual Ebb & Flow community arts festival at Vista Hermosa Natural Park on Saturday, June 14, 2025.

Ebb & Flow is a free, family-friendly festival that brings the community together to explore themes of climate change, nature, health, and humanity through an immersive blend of dance, visual art, music, and technology.

For this year’s celebration, HDD Artistic Director Raymond Ejiofor has curated and commissioned works by four multidisciplinary artists, inviting audiences to experience powerful performances and interactive installations that reflect our shared environmental and social landscapes. Heidi Duckler Dance is thrilled to be featuring works by local artists.
