About FoolMoon:
This sublime moonlit event will feature an enormous procession of hand-made illuminated sculptures carried by throngs of dancing merrymakers threading their way downtown to Washington Street, west of Main, in the heart of Ann Arbor. Pageant participants and revelers alike will dig live music, delicious treats and craft-brewed spirits, a series of experimental films projected onto the built environment, and a unique street-sized, shimmering, shadow-puppet performance.
FestiFools and FoolMoon are part of a planned effort to spotlight Ann Arbor as a vibrant place to create, live, entertain and do business. This year’s 5th Annual FestiFools celebration will take place on Main Street from 4pm to 5pm on Sunday, April 3rd, 2011. RSVP to that event here:http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=188860304481459
