Liberty Parade 2008 August 31, 2008

From the official website:

Q: Everyone wants to know: What the heck is Liberty Parade??

A:
It is a big weird parade in honor of LIBERTY!
It is a rolling art explosion!
It is a city wide art project!
It is a celebration!
It is PROOF that politics doesn’t have to suck!
It is FREE and for everyone
It is a way to laugh off all this serious political business that has befallen our town.

" The Liberty Parade is a Minneapolis first - a full-scale art and music celebration, a march in support of democracy and freedom of expression - And, it won't happen without you! Yes, YOU! Pull out your tubas, decorate your bicycles, dust off your art car, build a float, break out your flags and twirling batons, and take to the streets in celebration of your ideas of liberty and freedom of expression."

The parade starts at 1pm at 4th & Nicollet and ends at Loring Park. There will be vendors and music in the park.
