Flying Pig Parade

The Pig Flies into History

We had a terrific parade a month ago So Let’s Enjoy It Again!
We had a film crew shooting the whole thing. The result is an 11-minute video that has every group in it. We will have the World Premiere of our epic creation at First Magnitude Brewery, just south of Depot Park (1220 SE Veitch St.), on Wednesday, February 5th at 6 p.m.

While it is free and open to the public, we especially want to show it to all of our volunteers and participants who may not have been able to see the whole parade. Also, its another chance to dress up and, perhaps, wear your parade costume!

It’ll be an outstanding gathering bringing together many of Hogtown’s most creative people who like nothing better than dancing in the street. I look forward to introducing everyone to everyone else.

It’ll be wonderful, a chance to gather again, and, one more opportunity to make the pig fly.

The Flying Pig Parade

THIS FESTIVE AFFAIR IS LIKE NO OTHER. IT’S LIKE TAKING A BATH IN LAUGHTER. THE PIG CELEBRATES EVERYTHING WILD AND WONDERFUL ABOUT LIVING IN NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA. It is a light-hearted version of a traditional holiday parade. Its chief engineer, Glenn Terry, says, “Again we’ll be celebrating all that’s wild and wonderful about Hogtown while poking fun at the year gone by”. Most know ”Hogtown” was Gainesville’s original name.  Over fifty groups have signed up to march. They include Sgt. Pepper’s Heart Throb Band, Pigs in a Blanket, and The Rhythm Method Drum Line. The Flying Pig Parade is a great way to begin your new year celebration.
