PHOENIX, AZ -- 11/02/09 --
As described by the Phoenix New Times, who
voted PAPA "Best Parade" in 2008, The Phoenix Annual Parade of the Arts
"has been a lively and fanciful showcase of costumed revelers, crazy
antics, and artistic endeavors...a memorable experience." Now in its fourth
year, Phoenix Annual Parade of
the Arts (PAPA) celebrates "Lean, Green Parading Machine" in a free
celebration on Saturday, November 14, 2009 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. As in
years past, PAPA inspires members of the Downtown Phoenix
community to march together in unique costumes and man powered floats that
represent themselves, their family, their organization or their business.
PAPA 2009 invites everyone to scratch their creative itch with their best
green theme masks, costumes and floats. The parade coordinator, Dr. Rev.
Stephen Strange explains, "This year we are emphasizing one of the parade's
original goals; to get people out of their cars and experience the streets
of Phoenix in an immediate and joyful way. Plus, 'green' can have many
different interpretations. Perhaps some people will make a float out of
recycled material. Maybe others will show up as sea foam colored fairies
and monsters. People talk about how the parade gives them a sense of pride
in downtown Phoenix. We want people to be as creative as possible in
showing ownership for this city."
The Downtown Phoenix
event is headquartered at Fifth Street, between Roosevelt and Garfield
Streets, PAPA kicks off with pre-procession events from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Performances by professional artists and creative activities for kids and
adults alike are featured events. At 7 p.m., the community based, open to
the public, pedestrian and bike arts procession will begin, making a loop
through the streets of Downtown Phoenix lead by the infectious drumming of
local samba band Grupo Liberdade. Everyone is encouraged to march as
individuals or groups and compete for awards in the costume and float
contests. So bring the kids, some noise makers, pets on a leash and your
neighbor who knits those fabulous scarves to enjoy an evening of live
music, dance, theatre, fine arts and a view of Downtown Phoenix from
outside your car.
The Phoenix Annual Parade of
the Arts celebrates the arts and culture that are a vital part of a
metropolitan downtown. The Phoenix Annual Parade of the Arts is presented
by Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, The Downtown Phoenix Partnership and the
Strange Family Circus.
