Doo Dah Parade Cranks it Up for the Holiday Season, Sets the Date for November 18

On Doo Dah day, dozens of inventive, if zany, art cars and floats will accompany a legion of revelers past the mom-n-pop shops along East Pasadena’s shady tree-lined streets with a memorable cast of local eccentrics, disruptors, pundits, mutant art cars, lone wolves, steam punks, makers and merrymakers.

Entries are open to everyone. This year’s lineups includes the Nut Camp, Trashion Show, The Pony Baloney Express, Bildge Rat, Code Blue DeFibs, Black Sabbitch, Flying Baby Homerun Border Crossing, Nordic Men, Murrugun the Sword Swallower, Kilt Brigade, Radioactive Chickenheads, D.J. Sparlkle Pony, Toaster Car, The Army of Toy Soldiers, The Eye, The Billionaires, Saucers from Bakersfield, Danse Macabre, Free Thought Society, Unich Band, Aloha Oy Vey Marching Ukelele Band, Cyclops, Bearded Ladies, Count Smokula, Partying Parrotheads, Murrugun the Mystic, Unicorn Palace, Man as Giraffe, Heuristicus, The Butler, Recumbent Revolution, L.A. Derby Dolls, Let’s Paint and March TV, Zucchini Patrol, and Doo Dah’s 2018 Royals, among many others. Secret Santa, Doo Dah’s take on the North Pole icon, will close the conga line and ring in the holiday season. And… not a rose will be harmed in the making of this parade!

Yes, another Doo Dah is here to help you forget your humdrum existence!
