PARADE & STILT WALKER COORDINATION

I have stilted in countless parades and coordinated other tall and short parade elements.
I have booked and managed stilters  for the Peoples Parade at Harmony Festival in Santa Rosa, CA four different years.
I also coordinate and direct a Kids Peace Parade at Earthance for the past 6 years.
Parades are a great way to gather, showcase, and spread talent, beauty, and positivity.
