Life is short. So why not put on a tutu and play the tuba? This is the kind of whimsy welcomed at Occidental’s annual Fool’s Day Parade. Attendees are invited to dress up in costumes—the more ridiculous the better—and enjoy the thump-thump-thump of the Hub Bub Club marching band. Besides the parade, festivities will include performance art, children’s activities, and the crowing of the King and Queen of Fools. The frolicking happens on April 2, 1–4 p.m., at the Occidental Community Center in downtown Occidental. Find out more at occidentalcenterforthearts.org.
