Who's Your Papa?

Weirdos come out of the woodwork for bizarre bazaar

And he does it well, as the parade is one of the highlights of the Halloween season. A slew of costumed musicians, performers, and all-around weirdo types participate in the “mobile arts fair,” creating a bazaar of the bizarre. This year’s parade starts on Fifth Street between Roosevelt and Garfield and is part of The Happening @ Copper Square, which also features the Downtown Phoenix Loft and Home Tour, a street expo filled with vendors and live entertainment, and the Downtown Phoenix Pub Crawl.
