Doo Dah Parade
Columbus, Ohio
This is a quirky, fun July 4th event. " Do you have a 'Cause'? If so, the Doo Dah Parade is the perfect place for you to be a Martyr - in a funny way. It's satirical humor at its worst best. All politicians must wear a funny hat. No full nudity. And, no water guns or balloons please. Can you believe it? Still after all of these years, there is still no entry fee or registration required! Why? Because the Money Martyrs are paying for your enjoyment." Donations can be made.
You can watch or march in this parade. A popular, local DJ is the grand Marshall.
Get there at 11, parade starts at 1pm and then spend the day listening to bands, enjoying some beer and food and supporting local merchants.
