Description

Calendar event image

Celebrate the biodiversity of Cambridge’s urban wildlife! We invite families, kids, and individuals to march together in the annual HONK! Parade. Wear costumes and carry giant puppets of actual wild plant and animal species that live within the city’s boundaries – many of which can be found at Fresh Pond Reservation. The collection of puppets and costumes we lend out is ever-growing – we’ve got Giant Great Blue Herons (birds), a Peregrine Falcon, Sunflowers, Purple Coneflowers, Rabbits, Snapping Turtles, Butterflies, Blue Gill Fish, Dragonflies, and Red-winged Blackbirds. 

Bikes, scooters, strollers, walkers are all welcome. We will meet at 11am at the corner of Herbert and Day Streets in Davis Square to distribute costumes and puppets and get ourselves organized. Marching kicks off at noon and arrives around 2pm in Harvard Square. Contact freshpondwildlife@comcast.net for more information or visit www.honkparade2016.eventbrite.com
