Event Description:
This parade is our gift to the city, a zany, exuberant and irreverent downtown event in the dead of winter. We invite residents to get together with friends, neighbors, and coworkers to create high-quality, surprising and entertaining entries, add upbeat music, and strut their stuff tossing those ubiquitous beads to the crowd. Family friendly!
