The Weirdest Parade in the Universe that brought you The Marching Freds, The Booger King, The Million Chad March, The League of Dead Voters, Weapons of Mass Distraction, Osama Piñata, and the Running of the Bullshitters is strutting for the 30th time!!! What started as a rejected group from the King Orange Bowl Parade has grown into the wackiest event in south Florida (not counting the elections.) There is no better place for the strut than Floriduh. It provides more "winning" material than the MangoHeads can ever use. As creative as they are, even they couldn’t come up with some of this stuff! Parade begins at 2pm on Commodore Plaza and Main Highway in the heart of Coconut Grove. Heads up main Highway and turns left at Grand Avenue and back to Commodore Plaza. After the parade, the King Mango Music Massacre begins, with entertainment and bands playing all over The Grove to get you ready for New Year.
