Spring is upon us and that means renewal: blooming flowers, warm sunshine, and – most importantly – the comeback of the beloved "five minutes of feathery fury" that is the citywide April Fool's Day Pillow Fight! No joke.
Since 2006 (as circumstantially possible pending location, planning, a world-wide pandemic, etc.) Volume One has hosted this cherished romp of pillowy battle in downtown Eau Claire, and we are stoked to bring it back in 2023. Are you ready?!
Costumes and fanfare are encouraged, but brutality is not, so please don't be the person that ruins this for everyone. We're just here to have fun, people. There aren't any prizes awarded for biggest blow or bloodiest nose ... just for best pillowcase, best costume, group costumes, and more (for real). If you're resistant to the idea of taking a pillow to the face, no worries. Non pillow-wielding spectators are allowed and encouraged! But if you're coming to participate, bring your fluffiest pillow and let 'er rip.
EVENT DETAILS:
WHEN: 1pm sharp on Saturday, April 1.
WHO: Friends, families, neighbors; the more people the better! Spectators welcome.
WHERE: Oxbow Hotel courtyard at the corner of Galloway + Farwell Streets in downtown Eau Claire.
