The Wild Rumpus 2010 Halloween Parade and Spectacle SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30! WELCOME TO THE PARTY in 2010!!!!! It's our second year and we are growing. In 2010, the Rumpus will be equipped with all permits, insurance and city requirements to that we can take it to the streets! We will be provided a gallant ACC Police escort from start to finish as we roll right through the middle of downtown Athens!
Our Founding Princliple: The vision of The Wild Rumpus is to provide an organized avenue for the massive array of Athens creativity which manifests with such awesome power every Halloween. In the style and spirit of events like Burning Man or The Oregon Country Fair, The Wild Rumpus can serve as a safe and highly visible outlet for these creativities. Halloween is Athens' Mardi Gras. For those who have never experienced it, it could be described as mayhem in the streets. Known regardless as one of the top 5 party destinations in the nation, Athens is also "Never Never Land" to an active population of wildly creative, experimental artists and musicians. The colorful vibe of the artists carries over into the enormous student population of the University of Georgia, which LOVES a good time, resulting in an inventive mix of fun, creativity and revelry. The Halloween holiday is the pinnacle event of this bubbling stew of artistic self-expression, costuming and gleeful abandon. This year we seek to organize this event again for the purpose of channeling the creative spirit into a collaborative, all-inclusive, peaceful, fun time for all. And to get our Ya-Yas out, and howl at the moon. Happy Halloween Athens! -Timi Conley, Master of Ceremonies 2010
