About the event
Join us for Waste to Wonder 2025, an outdoor block party and creative showcase in Detroit’s Riverbend neighborhood that celebrates community resilience, circular art and design, and the power of imagination. Hosted by Ecosphere Organics at Sanctuary Farms in partnership with Sacred Space and Make Food Not Waste, the event features interactive art and design installations made from repurposed food waste materials — proving that what we throw away can be reimagined into something beautiful, functional, and impactful.
This event is rooted in a shared vision for more sustainable cities and neighborhoods, where creativity drives environmental solutions and local collaboration leads to meaningful change.
