The 2nd Flying Pig Parade – December 28th 2024
Hello Parade Fans, We will begin having our lively parade meetings at Cypress & Grove Brewery ( NW 10 Ave at 4th ) beginning on Tuesday, Nov. 19th. They’ll be outside and will start at 5:30. The meetings after that will also be there on Tuesdays, same time, on Dec. 3 and 17th. Everyone is welcome. We look forward to seeing you, hearing your great ideas, and having one more way to distract us from this week’s election results. Glenn, Head Hog, Flying Pig Parade
COME FLY WITH US!
Gainesville’s greatest event, THE FLYING PIG PARADE, is stepping out on Saturday, December 28th, at 2 p.m. Once again it will celebrate all that is wild and wonderful about living in North Central Florida. It’ll also poke fun at the many crazy things that happened in 2024.
We want YOU to be a part of it. Yes, you can show up for the festivities — a 2 p.m. parade followed by Bo Diddley’s Birthday Bash at 3 – but you can also be IN the parade, or volunteer to help make it happen. This is accomplished by clicking either of the forms, Entry Application or Volunteer Application. They are also listed on the menu of each page.We had over fifty groups in last year’s parade. We expect more this time. “The Dancing Dinosaurs” and the “Weird Island Clown Band” are coming back. Gainesville legend Vivian Filer has accepted our invitation to lead the procession as our grand marshal. It’s going to be another grand affair and we hope you can be a part of it.
Don’t miss your chance, please fill out Parade Entry Form.
In case you missed it, here’s a short video of the world’s first Flying Pig Parade.
