Jingletown Solstice Parade 2010

On Sunday, June 13th, Chthonic Theater welcomed friends in the warehouse to prepare for a wild parade through Jingletown during the last day of Open Studios.

Parade Song
I am born, and I rise
I’m alive, I’m alive
I am born, I arive
I’m alive!

This was the second parade we have organized in Jingletown (see pics of the first one). Attired in freakish and colorful costumes and accoutrements, we paraded down the streets, bursting into song and even bombarded some personal artist studios. Thanks to all who participated–we hope to have more parades in Jingletown and the greater Oakland area.
