Hip Hip Hooray, it’s PiP PiP Parade!
Join us for during the opening weekend of PiP 2026 for a parade featuring giant puppets and masks, tall stilt-walkers, wild drummers, and huge assemblages of color, costume, and sound!
Portland’s own Shoestring Theater will lead the merry procession down Washington Ave and through our Kennedy Park neighborhood! Our friends in the Ideal Maine Social Aid & Sanctuary Band will join the parade along with festival artists and community members.
Immediately following the parade, join us at Mayo Street Arts for a short puppet show by Stop Puppeting Yourself Puppet Company!
