MARCHE DU NAIN ROUGE
Marche du Nain Rouge - FYI
THE MAIN EVENT
All are invited to join in the Annual Marche du Nain Rouge, a parade made up of the citizens of Detroit. Just show up!
Noon: Gather at the intersection of Canfield and Second, for a celebration of Detroit with live entertainment.
1 p.m.: We parade down to the Masonic Temple for the closing ceremony and Official Afterparty in the Masonic Temple's famed Fountain Ballroom. You are the parade, so come masked or fully costumed. Bring a marching band. Wear a costume. Build a human-powered float. Put on a mask, cover your body in biodegradable glitter -- whatever it takes.
Should the Nain Rouge, Detroit's legendary harbinger of doom, try something dastardly, we will show him that hope prevails in the city that rises from the ashes. Bring your sense of Detroit pride and sense of humor.
