Where: 2400 Blakemore Avenue
Nashville, TN -- Fannie Mae Dees Park (more commonly known as Dragon Park)
Arise!! Come one, come all! Join the festive revolution to reclaim Mother's Day in alignment with the vision of Julia Ward Howe, who wrote the Mother's Day Proclamation in 1870.
This year's theme: Mothers Beyond Borders.
Gather up with the great human family:
12:30 tricycle, wagon, stroller & wheelchair decorating; face painting; dressing up in costume!!
1:30 sidewalk parade through Hillsboro Village and back to Dragon Park!!
Post parade: acoustic music by Nashville's very own Contrarians, a juggler / magician / children's entertainer and his feats of daring do, fellowship with FREE CAKE, juice, water & coffee.
Bring your knitting, your drums & kazoos; your grandmothers, babies, and mates.
Outlandish costumery is encouraged to add to the day's joyous reclaimation; aprons are a terrific symbol for the revelery of the day.
Please share this with families of all kinds; this is a Y'all Come event. If you feel so led, please sign up for a "job" to aid the parade.
Hosted by Mothers Acting Up, Nashville's First Annual Mother's Day Parade for Peace is co-sponsored by folks including Wild Oats, Plum Good Food, Peace Roots Alliance, and CodePink.
