The Williamstown Circus "Parade Project" is an exotic moving circus parade that explodes with colour, sound and lively action. The parade is a culmination of a series of creative workshops in both primary and secondary schools and the Footscray Anglican Sudanese Youth Group. The workshops will factor into the schools curriculum of art, music and drama and also be co-ordinated in Footscray.
Experienced Circus performers and artists in specific areas will lead the process of design, devising and building costumes, props, puppets and even orchestrating a marching band.
This spectacular parade will commence at 1pm on Sunday 13th April and will cover the route illustrated below.
