A Mural Festival in Lakeland, FL

Color Wave is Lakeland, Florida’s first-ever mural festival, launching this November.

As a biennial event, Color Wave is dedicated to the long-term transformation of our community through public art, artist collaboration, and accessible education programs that foster creativity, connection, and cultural growth.
