Participating in the King Mango Strut
If you're considering participating in the strut, the first criteria is that you must be slightly insane (at least!). While the strut originally began as an anarchistic response to the Orange Bowl parade, it now has a bureaucracy of its own. Space constraints limit the parade to 45 groups and you'll need to plan ahead if you want to participate. Fill out the official entry form and explain to the judges how you will stand out among the wacky crowd!If you've never seen the strut before, this is a must-add event to your holiday season itinerary. Whether you're a participant or a spectator, the King Mango Strut is sure to change your perspective on life!
