On May 11, 2019 a community-built wearable-art parade takes to the streets of Hudson. Anyone can join our retinue of aspiring artists, agile absurdists, and ambulatory agitators to create an open-source work of mobile performance art. Hats and headdresses, body-extensions and puppets, and wearable assemblages in any form are welcome. Drawing inspiration from global Carnival masquerades and Hudson’s evolving history as a city of makers, the Mad Hatters’ Parade brings together Hudson’s diverse communities in a shared spectacle of the nonsensical. The Parade steps off from the Hudson Area Library at and wends its way to a final Grand Sashay down the aisles of Basilica’s Farm and Flea.
