Wild Rumpus The Wild Rumpus Parade begins with a conch shell blown by the Master of Ceremonies. The sound calls out to all people to join in, to come out from wherever they are and whoever they are, all are welcome, and they appear in hand-crafted, wildly imaginative costumes, to parade through downtown streets, to strut past local bands on the route, to stream into the festival zone with bands playing on stage, with fire spinners, aerialist performers, and laser lights.
