Known as Athens’ own Mardi Gras, the highly anticipated Wild Rumpus Parade & Spectacle is anything but ordinary. The Wild Rumpus is a large-scale crowd-participation Halloween holiday, music and arts celebration in downtown Athens. It is one of the Southeast’s premier Halloween celebrations and one of Athens’ most-loved festivals. The Wild Rumpus is FREE to attend, and all are invited. The public is invited to dress in Halloween costume and march through the streets of The Classic City. The dazzling display of hand-crafted, wildly imaginative costuming is out of this world, and a highly unique experience. This massive display of creativity, promoting self-expression in a safe and inviting environment, is the perfect way to celebrate Halloween! wildrumpus.org
