The Flying Pig Parade celebrates all that is wild and wonderful about living in North Central Florida. It also pokes fun at recent local and national events. “The Pig” first took to the streets of downtown Gainesville in 2023. Since then, nearly 3,000 people have gathered to watch it march down SE 1st St. on the first Saturday of the new year.The parade will feature more than 50 groups, combining musical performances, dancing, puppetry, satire, and more. Terry and other volunteers make themselves available to the groups needing creative advice and training in mask making, costumes, and puppet-making. Anyone can come up with an act and join the fun.
Those who want to strut their stuff, to volunteer, or who just want more information can go to the event's website, http://www.flyingpigparade.org. Groups wanting be in the parade must file an online application (on the website) by December 12th.
