Parade | Join Us
SUNSET GATHERING & CEREMONY●
6:00 pm, Battery Park ●
The culmination of the Feverish World Parade will feature members of the Abenaki Nation of Missisquoi and other guests of Feverish World. In preparing us for “Situating Ourselves in a Feverish World” (Sunday’s first panel), it is appropriate to recall the geographic and historical spaces of Burlington, with its colonial and anti-colonial movements and counter-movements. And to recall that, after all, “everyone loves a parade.” Expect the unexpected.
