Doo Dah Parade
Known as the ‘other’ parade, the Doo Dah Parade
began as a parody of the Rose Parade – where the one had a
list of rules and regulations and invited performers, the other
decided to exult in the opposite with no theme, no judges and no
commercials. Every year thousands of marching groups or acts are
led through the streets in a colourful procession of humour,
eccentricity and mayhem, doing almost anything they please and
attracting enormous crowds of spectators along the route. Entries
are unusual and entertaining, and have included Dead Rose Queens,
The Spawn of Captain James T. Kirk, the Royal Doo Dah Orchestra,
the Invisible Man Marching Band, Caesar’s Circus, BBQ and
Hibachi Marching Grill Team and Bungee Barbies, among others.
