12th Annual Halloween Parade in Oregon Hill

The All The Saints Theater Company is organizing its 12th Annual Halloween Parade. At first, I wrote “presenting” but realized that was totally wrong. I think All The Saints would agree that this is truly a Richmond production and they just add enough structure to kick things off.

The parade will be filled with kids, adults, and families of all sort coming together to celebrate and honor the dead.

Full details from the Event Page:

Guys and gals and all non-binary conforming pals, join us in this all-inclusive Richmond tradition! Dress up in a costume, make your own giant puppets or flags, and/or volunteer to assist with our giant puppets, flags, props and more!

We are so excited to continue this yearly Richmond Halloween tradition! Join us as we take the streets in celebration of our 12th year with costumes, live music, dancing, creativity, puppetry, and camaraderie!

October 31st
7pm sharp
corner of Main St. and Laurel across from the usual Monroe Park meeting spot (near VCU Campus)
Richmond VA

We celebrate and honor the dead. We will march with a massive skeleton horse and other day of the dead style massive puppets! And it is our honor to host (all the way back from the dead) confederate used horses against the statues! Also, a huge animal contingent of “Animals Against Racist Humans” (A.A.R.H.).
A Funeral March for the Confederacy!

We will be introducing a brand new beautiful statue of Harriet Tubman, and also a large contingent of skeleton butterflies with Mother Earth who will present her massive monarch wings and devote her power to protecting DACA! Our stilters will be our Angel Messengers of the Manifesto of Tomorrow, our owning and denouncing of the truths of the past and our collective intention for a future that says sorry, and that devotes all actions to a future without racists and fascists, where we all stand together against an Imperial Presidency!

Other favorite puppets of the past will also be joining us and we hope you will too!
