Cattywampus Parade & Block Party

Do you like larger than life paper machete puppets? How about parades through beloved neighborhoods? Do you enjoy… y’know, JOY?

Good news for you 😉 The 8th Annual Cattywampus Parade & Block Party is happening this Sunday, May 18th at Suttree Landing Park in South Knoxville& this year’s theme is OUR JOY IS POWERFUL! 🎉

From the organizers themselves: Cattywampus Puppet Council’s people-powered Parade & Block Party has become an annual tradition in Knoxville over the past 7 years. It brings together diverse and intergenerational cross-sections of our community to play, create, and build relationships with one another, while using the visual and performing arts as tools to help tell our stories and vision what futures we might create together. Community members of all ages are invited to make giant puppets, masks, costumes, and other art and come together to parade as one.

Best part? The parade & party is FREEEEE and open to all!
