Piggery Pete's 2nd Annual Perchten Parade

A LOCAL FOLK PARADE

Come dressed as either Piggery Pete, your favorite spirit, creature, deity or self-made magical identity. 

Bring bells to ring in a new season.

Escape regret and despair. Open your heart to the possibility of spring. 

Beguile the darkness of winter with endless gratitude, unapologetic joy, and monstrous costumes. 

Reclaim the region in the name of feral love and freedom by participating in a new tradition that challenges dominant historical narratives about obligation and exploitation.  

RSVP to the Facebook event page.

The parade draws on a variety of pagan and folk traditions that incorporate marches, costumes, sound, songs, street theater, and dance.

It is a way out of the winter. Our chants, the ringing bells, and the vibration of our marching help wake up the earth and call in the spring.

The redemptive story of Piggery Pete reminds us that it's never too late to rewild our hearts!

On the other side of regret, pain, and despair we find love, freedom, gratitude, and magic.

We move forward by accepting and reimagining our past, embracing traditional and new ways of knowing, connecting back to the land, developing stranger solidarities, quieting our minds, and opening our hearts.
