Join us to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the invention of Fluff! 

Produced in partnership with Union Square Main Streets, What the Fluff? A Tribute to Union Square Invention celebrates the genius of Archibald Query who invented Fluff here in Union Sq. in 1917.

The 12th annual “What the Fluff” Festival will feature musical performances, a cooking contest, Fluff-themed games, activities, antics and fun for every age, and Fluff treats of every sort.

This year’s theme of “FluffCentennial: Inspiring the Next Century of Union Square Invention” will offer lots of ways to invent all sorts of new fun and Fluff-inspired food, as well as the opportunity to highlight how invention is cropping up again, 100 years later, all over Union Square.
