Every year, the procession through Greenwich Village has been headed by an ever-changing menagerie of
Giant Puppets and Special Costumed Performances. This entourage provides the kernel of inspiration
around which the creative energies of the other 50,000 Parade participants. The artists and
technicians responsible for these puppets work throughout the Summer and Fall in many locations around
the Greater New York City area, Upstate New York, New Jersey, Boston, Cleveland and the North East.
These workshops are busy designing and fabricating new creations to fulfill the changing themes of each
new Parade. Some 300 volunteers from the local communities and from New York City assist in the various
stages of building, assembling and operating of the puppets and costumes.
