Ahoy ⚓! Set sail with us on June 13th for the 3rd annual Everything Under the Sun Parade! ☀️❤️ Taking artistic inspiration from large-scale puppetry 🪼, the parade is a people-powered 🫂 celebration of radical joy 😇 that reclaims the creative power of ordinary people 👯 to sculpt a just future ⛰️🌬️🌲🌊. This is a family-friendly event and young ones are encouraged to join. Join the fun by bringing your own puppet! No puppet 👀? No problem 🙂 - we aren't joining the parade this year so anyone can join the fun and ride along to spectate. 🎭 What kind of puppets r we talkin? Here are some creative ideas: googley eyes on a sock 🧦 Pipe cleaners with googley eyes on a stick (wormz) 🐍 Papier mache shrimp helmet?? 🦐 Cardboard cutout on a stick 🐟 The route begins at Abernethy Elementary basketball courts 🏀. We will ride the Springwater Corridor to the intersection of Milwaukie & Bybee 🍻 to watch the parade. The ride officially ends here and you are free to spectate from anywhere else along the route 🤓. There is one teeny-tiny segment of dirt we will use to connect the springwater to surface streets - don't worry about it, you'll be fine, consider it part of the adventure ⚡👻👽.

Also, be sure to check out new orleans duo Quinntron & Miss Pussycat that night at The Spare Room. We are not affiliated with them either. https://www.lonelygodpdx.com/events/quintron-the-pussycats-sleeping-beauties-dirt-twins-the-spare-room We will follow the Shift code of conduct [https://www.shift2bikes.org/pages/shift-code-of-conduct/] and expect everyone to be respectful of themselves and others around them. There may be corking at certain points. If you are able to help, please leave some distance between yourself and the cars and be friendly to help keep all of us safe. 💜💚💛
