The first Flying Pig Parade will be in Gainesville to honor its origins.  

The parade will start at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 30 and will march on SE 1 Street from University Avenue to the Hippodrome Theater. 

The “New Parade Committee” has been meeting regularly to work out details and logistics. It reports that they expect to have thirty-plus groups participating along with bands, floats, and perhaps a live pig.

The marchers and their fans will then have a post-parade party with entertainment provided by the procession’s bands and participants.
