Schools are welcome to make puppets and join the parade! Line-Up: 2pm (Suttree Landing Park Pavilion) Kick-Off: 3pm Block Party: 3:30-6pm (Suttree Landing Park Festival Lawn) In east Knoxville, the confluence of the French Broad and Holston Rivers form the headwaters and start of the Tennessee River, one of the most biodiverse and 5th largest waterways in North America. We know water is not only one of our greatest sources of life but also a source of struggle for many communities, including our own, threatened by pollution and our ever-shifting climate. This parade season, we invite you to make giant puppets, costumes and other people-powered creations in celebration of water and a commitment to protect our waterways and all of the life they support, including our own. On Sunday, May 17th, we will then flow together as one and process along the Tennessee River at Suttree Landing Park, a beautiful confluence of community and art. More information-https://cattywampuspuppets.org/events
