Join us for the AAC Color Dash, a family-friendly event created to help fund our vision for an Art Center in Anderson! At this one-of-a-kind event, YOU become the art as you run, dash, or stroll through a colorful park course filled with color powder explosion stations, collaborative art, interactive painting along the course, the Chicken Dance (it is Oktoberfest, after all!), a silly limbo challenge, and plenty of other activities that will transform Beech Acres Park into a vibrant, messy masterpiece!

 

The course is less than a mile long, making it perfect for families of all ages.

​

Each registration includes:

​

• A white AAC Color Dash T-shirt

• A voucher for a free hot dog and drink (soda or beer for guests 21+) to enjoy at Oktoberfest, generously donated by the Anderson Foundation and Wandering Monsters Brewing​

After you cross the finish line, grab your swag bag filled with goodies from our amazing sponsors! Stick around for balloon art and face painting, then head over to Oktoberfest and redeem your voucher for a free hot dog and drink (soda or beer for guests 21+), courtesy of the Anderson Foundation For Parks & Recreations and Wandering Monsters.

​

And don't forget to catch the fan-favorite Wiener Dog Race at 12:00 PM!

​

We want this event to be fun and inclusive for everyone. Even if you're not able to dash or walk the course, we hope you'll still come out to celebrate, cheer on the participants, and enjoy the festivities.

​

We're beyond excited to partner with Anderson Parks to bring the Color Dash to the heart of Anderson and make Oktoberfest even more colorful for friends, families, and the entire community—all while supporting the arts and helping bring our vision of an Art Center in Anderson to life.
