The Flying Pig Parade 2024
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.
