The Festival features an installation of original artwork and writing from thousands of students around the world expressing their dreams. This event is the year-end culmination of Dreamline's work with schools around the world, from Fishtown to Taiwan.

Students from local Dreamline schools in the Philadelphia region take the stage to declare their dreams out loud while local musicians accompany with live jazz. On the Pier's 11x7 foot video wall, Dreamline students from remote locations join in.

The festival offers hands-on craft making activities that will engage attendees of all ages. From Dream Prints, to Planting Seedlings, Designing a Dream Button, and creating a Dream Banner to share with the world.
