What should I wear/bring?
WEAR BRIGHT, SHIMMERING GARB: Inspired by wildly expressive festivals like Burning Man and Mardi Gras, Strutscape encourages folks to come out shimmering shining. This is a public, family-friend environment. So get crazy as hell, but please be respectful.
STAY HEALTHY AND PREPARED: Bring water bottle, a bag or fanny.
STAY MOBILE: If you are concerned about keeping up with .05-1 mile an hour walking pace, please feel free to bring out a non-gasoline powered vehicle to bop around in. Consider decorating your ride. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, there will be tons of friendly folks about.
Cost? Tickets?
No cost, no tickets. Come have fun. Bring the stuff you’ll need to have fun.
Do you sell beer, food?
Strutscape won’t be providing a single consumable amenity. Bring everything you’ll need, but know that you’ll have access to a ton of food and refreshment options between our start and end locations.
Can I bring a bike, wagon, wheelchair, lil rascal, or stroller?
Bring yourself in whatever method you can, as long as it isn’t powered by gasoline.
Bikes, E-Bikes, Mobility Scooters, Electric Scooters, etc are fine. We will be moving VERY SLOWLY.
No cars, four-wheelers, dirt-bikes, gas-powered mopeds. Be reasonable. Most people will be on-foot.
Does Strutscape need volunteers?
We will need friendly, level-headed people with loud voices to help cork intersections and keep people safe when cars are passing. Want to help keep things safe and fun? Reach out to derekvaughanbrown@gmail.com
Is this a Parade?
A parade is meant to be observed. This is meant to be participated-in. So yes? Kinda? You decide. No expertise required. This is a low-stakes, big-fun event.
Kid friendly?
This is not a children’s event, but we are big on family and community. We’d love to see your smiling faces.
Is it safe?
We will have a small crew of volunteers whose role it is to keep folks aware and safe during travel, but everyone will need to be practicing awareness and caution.
Wear bright, shimmering colors!
