Festifools Parade
Now in its 5th smash year, FestiFools brings 50 plus giant figure heads and their accompanying societies to Main Street for one of the most surprising visual spectacles in the region on the first Sunday in April. In the traditions of carnival from Bolivia to Venice, from Mardi Grads in New Orleans to Basel’s Fastnacht, Festifools is a spectacular inversion of everyday hierarchy and order, featuring the puppet-figure heads of temporary societies atop 10 foot masts. Join thousands of fans as they cheer the entry of first year A&D students in Rebekah Modrak’s ADP II: Society course as their giant creations round Main Street.
FestiFools is a joint production of A&D, LS&A and hundreds of community members, volunteers and staff. Procession runs from 4 – 5 pm on Sunday, April 3 on Ann Arbor’s Main Street between W. Washington and W. William Streets.
