ANN ARBOR, Mich. – See larger-than-life paper mache puppets dance and twirl on Main Street when the FestiFools parade returns to downtown Tree Town.
Celebrate the foolishness from 4-5 p.m. on Sunday, April 7, thanks to community volunteers and University of Michigan students who have spent the winter preparing the puppets for a “FestiFables”-themed time.
More volunteers are needed to help out during the event. Those interested in building puppets at the FestiFools studio or helping during the April event can sign up here.
