Last weekend, as I was driving out of Ann Arbor from a shoot, I stumbled upon fun oozing off of the streets! Main Street was barricaded off and all I could see were colorful faces and happy people dancing. I wandered around and soon found out that this was the annual FestiFools Parade, “Ann Arbor’s annual street festival of huge puppets and random acts of April foolishness”. It was definitely neat to see so many people out on a rainy Sunday just to celebrate art and silliness! People of all ages were gathered and everyone was in a great mood – well, except for the poor little child who started wailing when one of the puppets tried to shake her hand! Here are a few of my favorite characters:
I got a huge kick out of the “Please do not feed exhibit” sign!
And my absolute favorite was the talking hamburger with bright yellow French fries for hands. His mouth was running the whole time. :D May you find the time for some foolishness this month…
