If you’ve been
following the news you probably have a good idea of the people,
places, and, politics that have perplexed, peeved, and, perpetuated
the insanity of the past year.
Watch it all come to
life on the streets of Coconut Grove, Sunday, December 28th
at 2:00 p.m. at the 27th Annual King Mango Strut Parade. Dance
the Mangobama at the craziest parody parade this side of the
Universe.

CAUTION:
No one and nothing is safe from parody and satire at the King
Mango Strut. Proceed at your own risk.
Starting at 2PM, get set for a
fabtastic afternoon at the 27th King Mango Strut, where news
and satire collide on the streets of Coconut Grove. The King
Mango Strut is the most fun event Miami has to offer,
full of irreverent, creative and wacky people and lots of
opportunity to make fun of everything and anything. There
is no better place for the King Mango Strut than Miami, Florida,
the axis of the Axis of Weirdness. It provides more material
that we could ever use. As creative as the MangoHeads
are, even they couldn't come up with some of this stuff.
Expect to see the usual Strut suspects: The Hare Krishnas,
the Marching Freds, The Will Thomas Band, RoadKill Band, the
Progressive New Orleans's Funeral Band, the Mocko Jumbi, the
Little Miss Mangoes and the former Miss Mangoes (Miss Judged,
Miss Demeanor, Miss Aligned, Miss Appropriate, etc...)
All parade goers should arrive
early this year to go through security checkpoint. Like the
US Military, we have privatized security. MangoWater will
be patrolling the parade route.
The strut route begins at the
corner of Commodore Plaza and Main Highway. It
turns left onto Main Highway and then turns left onto Grand
Avenue at Cocowalk and turn left again at Commodore Plaza.
If we are having too much fun we will go around again until
we all fall down. Right after the strut, there will
be parties all around the Grove.
All this entertainment is free
(cheaper than a therapist) and open to the public. There is
plenty of parking along or near the parade route at CocoWalk,
Mayfair, Coconut Grove Playhouse, St. Stephens Episcopal Church,
Coconut Grove Elementary School, the Municipal Garage
at Oak Avenue and Mary Street, and he Sonesta Hotel’s
public garage.
If you don't want to drive
(who can blame you,) take the Metrorail to the Coconut Grove
Station. There will be shuttle buses (the Coconut Grove
Circulator) picking up eager parade goers every 15 minutes
at the station and dropping them one block from the parade
route. |
The
King Mango Strut is baaack!!!
for the 27th time to bring much
needed mental climate change on Sunday,
December 28th at 2pm in downtown Coconut Grove. Parade
route includes Commodore Plaza, Main Highway and Grand Avenue.
