The parade, which is the brainchild of the 3 Ring Circus Arts Education Center, will feature costumes and contraptions including ‘pyrotechnic puppetry’ from a variety of realms within the sci-fi pantheon.

In homage to Star Wars, Peter Mayhew (the actor who played Chewbacca on the big screen) will be serving as King.

The parade rolls Sunday March 6 starting from the Big Top (1638 Clio) and making its way through the CBD.
