Join the All Species Parade
Dress up as your favorite creature, plant, or any species — and march with us in a celebration of all living things. Think of it as Brunswick's Halloween parade, but for Earth Day!
Pre-RegisterWhat Is the All Species Parade?
The All Species Parade is a community parade where people of all ages dress up as their favorite species and march together around the school grounds. Whether you come as a monarch butterfly, a towering oak tree, a playful otter, or a deep-sea jellyfish — all species are welcome!
The parade will end with a Blessing of the Species in the school cafeteria, a moment to honor the incredible diversity of life on our planet.
Wild Oats Bakery Gift Certificates
The first 200 people who dress up and come to the Festival will receive a $10 gift certificate to Wild Oats Bakery. Limit one gift certificate per person.
Pre-registration is completely voluntary — it just helps us make sure we have enough gift certificates available. You don't need to pre-register to march in the parade!
