The Weirdest Parade in the Universe that brought you The Marching Freds, The Synchronize Briefcase Brigade, The Booger King, The Million Chad March, The League of Dead Voters, Cuban Eye for the Gringo Guy, Idu Grab Prison, Weapons of Mass Distraction, Osama Piñata, The Hare Krishnas and the Running of the Bullshitters is strutting for the 25th time!!!

That's right! The King Mango Strut Parade is 28 years old!!!

And they said it wouldn't last!!! What started as a rejected group from the King Orange Bowl Parade has grown into the wackiest event in south Florida (not counting the elections). The King Mango Strut is the most fun event Miami has to offer, full of irreverent, creative and wacky people and lots of opportunity to make fun of everything and anything. There is no better place for the strut than in Miami, Floriduh. It provides more material than the strutters can ever use. As creative as they are, even they couldn't come up with some of this stuff.

Mangoes Gone Wild!!!
The King Mango Strut continues to bring it's off beat, off-the-wall mangomania to a new generation of MangoHeads and it doesn't intend to stop. With it's appropriate theme, "Still Crazy After All These Years", the Silver Strut will be ready to strut their stuff on Sunday, December 31st at 2pm in Downtown Coconut Grove. Parade route includes Commodore Plaza, Main Highway and Grand Avenue. Warning: No one and nothing is safe from parody and satire at the King Mango Strut.

The King Mango Pre-Strut activities begin at the corner of Commodore Plaza and Main Highway with Grand Master C, Buzz Fleischman, from the WLRN ‘South Florida Arts Beat' Radio Buzz hosting the Little Miss Mango Pageant (for kids 5-12) at 1:15 pm. This is a highly competitive pageant. All the contestants are expected to win. The winners will ride the first float of the Strut.

The strut route begins at the corner of Commodore Plaza and Main Highway. It turns left onto Main Highway and then turns left onto Grand Avenue at CocoWalk and turns left again at Commodore Plaza. If we are having too much fun we will go around again until we all fall down.

There is ample parking a block away from the parade route at the Municipal Garage at Oak Avenue and Mary Street, as well as CocoWalk, Mayfair, Coconut Grove Playhouse, St. Stephens Episcopal Church, and Coconut Grove Elementary School.

After the strut, the King Mango Music Massacre begins, with entertainment and bands playing all over the Grove until 6:30 pm.
