2nd Annual Cicada Parade in Jefferson Park (RVA)
Advertisement
SCREEEEE! Almost all of Richmond's annual cicadas have emerged, and it's time for the 2nd Annual (Annual) Cicada Parade!
Unlike those attention-hogging periodical cicadas who make everyone wait 13 or 17 years, we celebrate Richmond's *annual* cicadas, our reliable summer screamers who show up every year. The Cicada Parade is a joyful, modestly organized celebration of our clumsy, love-drunk, and loudly passionate cicada friends.
Dress like a cicada. Strap on some wings. Kazoo a terrible love song. Prance through the neighborhood with a bunch of other cicadas. Embrace the moment. Live like you have one goal and the clock is ticking.
* ALL AGES WELCOME *
WHEN: Saturday, September 12th at 2 PM.
WHERE: "Stage House" at Jefferson Park
(Church Hill / Union Hill)
1921 Princess Anne Ave
Richmond, VA 23223
* * * * THE FLIGHT PLAN * * * *
1: Gather at Jefferson Park
2: One chaotic lap around Jefferson Park
3: The cicadas hit the streets (Union Hill + Church Hill)
4: Sashay back to Jefferson Park
Specific route + timing posted in a day or two.
* * * * CICADA WRANGLERS WANTED * * * *
- We're looking for a few volunteer Cicada Wranglers to carry flags, help guide the parade along the route, and keep our wandering cicadas together.
- No previous cicada-wrangling experience required.
- Interested? Email: [email protected]
* * * * A FEW DETAILS * * * *
- Costumes and/or wings are highly encouraged, but not required.
- Cicada Parade kazoos will be available for a nominal cost.
- Cicada Parade T-shirts and stickers will also be available for purchase.
- Route, timing, costume inspiration, merchandise details, and other important cicada business will be shared soon.
We fly. We grind. We screeeee love songs.
