The wacky annual Doo Dah Parade, which is a cultural legacy of Columbus and the Short North Arts District, is known for its diversity and passion for art. Vibrant people march and express their unique humorous thoughts about social, political, civic, or other issues. Nothing and no one are safe from satire. The Doo Dah Parade will have Less-Than-Grand Marshals Walker & Annie Evans, ColumbusUnderground.com’s Founders and Editors-In-Chief, cruising in the parade waving and doing selfies and most likely forming another story from their experience.
The Doo Dah parade is free to march in or to watch, and no registration is required. The day is complete with an all-day free entry to the block party, with free live music. The parade route lines up at 12:00pm on Park Street and at 1:00pm parades west on Buttles Avenue, south on Dennison Avenue, west on Collins Street, north on Neil Avenue, east on W. Second Avenue, south on N. High Street, and ends at W. Russell Street. Heads back to Goodale Park for the Afterglow Party (11a-7p).
