On Sunday, February 7th, the Fremont Arts Council (FAC) will parade through the Fremont Sunday Market starting at 1p – and anyone can be a part of the joyful, creative celebration!
Starting January 29th, the FAC will host public workshops in The Powerhouse to allow everyone to come in, build a float or help others build theirs. Also, stop by to see what this parade, called Petit Troll, is all about.
Petit Troll will celebrate Mardi Gras, with a procession of miniature floats, about the size of a shoebox. With the Mighty Tiny Band, costumed participants, and a possible collection of decorated umbrellas (in case of Seattle-ish weather,) this short yet splashy spectacle promises good times for all! Inspired by the New Orleans ‘tit Rex, this parade welcomes participants of all ages and abilities.
Join the Petit Troll Krewe, and come help build:
- Fri, Jan 29th from 6p – 10p
