What an experience!
The energy, creativity, and excitement of the Love Leads Parade made it one of the most memorable moments of our inaugural Carnival & Art Fair. Seeing participants proudly share their creations while family, friends, and community members lined the route to cheer them on was truly something special.
We love creating opportunities for the people we serve to try new things, express themselves, connect with their community, and shine. The smiles, laughter, and cheers throughout the parade reminded us just how meaningful those opportunities can be, and they aren't possible without a community that believes in creating spaces where everyone can participate, contribute, and shine. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate alongside us!
We're also grateful to those who helped bring the parade to life, including Christopher Lutter-gardella, In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre, Hijinks Stilts, ArtCar Parade, the Eagan High School Band, and M.T. Pockets & Loose Change. Your creativity and enthusiasm helped make this experience unforgettable.
