WALK THROUGH THE WEIRD THINGS UPSIDE DOWN PARADE! 

Stroll counterclockwise around the pond and visit with the Weird Things to the music of Black Sheep Ensemble! You’re welcome to pack a picnic and have a seat at the amphitheater. Costumes encouraged! ADA accessible from the Daniel St. ramp. There are several entrances. See Map.

There is no vending. Please leave no trace. 

CREATE THE WEIRD THINGS UPSIDE DOWN PARADE!

What is a weird thing?

A playful creature born from your imagination conjured as a handmade costume or puppet for the purpose of delighting friends and strangers. 

BE YOUR OWN WEIRD THING!

Come to a free mask/puppet workshop (TBA shortly) or get crafty at home. There's loads of monster ideas at the bottom of this page and links to parading monsters we love and follow. We welcome your imaginary friends to roost and fledge, your neighborly monsters to nest and hatch, and your cryptids to grow their tales!

Tiny gifting is encouraged. Candy is a fine tiny gift, but also think up stuff you can’t get at the store:

A scrap of your critter’s story, make up a a monster joke, a fortune, an acorn or pecan with a monster face on it drawn by you. It doesn't have to be a ton of stuff, just a few unexpected special things. 

On Parade Day: You and your weird things will come a little early and find a nice spot in the grassy areas near the amphitheater and hang out and amuse the visiting humans! We’d love to collect photos and stories of the weird things! #weirdthingsATL
