Doo Dah Parade Returns for 38th Annual March through Columbus’ Short North
(Columbus, OH) The world-renowned Doo Dah Parade is returning to the streets of Columbus on July 4, 2021. The 38th Annual celebration of Liberty and Lunacy, Freedom of Speech and Humor will be satirizing the world LIVE from the Fabulous Short North starting at 1 p.m.
After the pandemic lockdown, tinfoil hat insurrections and a 17-year Cicadian slumber, the world needs a good laugh or two. Doo Dah Parade Disorganizers are unplanning for a fine group of marchers to wind their way through Victorian Village and along High Street. Overseeing it all will be Doo Dah Less-Than-Grand Marshal for 2021: Captain Ohio.
Disorganizers also emphasize that the best way to experience Doo Dah is to be IN the parade. Get your humor out and create a memorable entry! No registration is necessary; all you have to do is show up. Line up for parade participants begins at Noon on Park Street (Enter from Goodale.)
