Join us for the 3rd annual parade!

Saturday, June 13th, at 2p in the Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood of Portland, OR.

Stay tuned for more info soon!

The Everything Under the Sun Parade is an annual community procession that celebrates the creative power of ordinary people. We aim to combat social isolation by cultivating deeper connections through developing large-scale puppets with community members. With a focus on inclusion and accessibility, the parade affirms that people make culture and community, strong community connections are essential for our collective well-being, and joy is a collective practice. 

Led by a giant paper mache sun puppet and featuring a colorful array of puppets, costumes, and music, the parade embodies a spirit of art and community resilience. It draws inspiration from public processions like Bread and Puppet in Vermont and In the Heart of the Beast Puppet Theatre in Minneapolis. Anyone can join this neighborhood parade!

We believe that building strong community connections is essential for our collective well-being.
