The world-renowned Doo Dah Parade is returning to the streets of Columbus on July 4, 2025, Rain date July 3rd. The 42nd Annual celebration of Liberty and Lunacy Freedom of Speech through Humor will be satirizing the world LIVE from the Fabulous Short North starting at 1 p.m.
The world needs a good laugh or two. Doo Dah Parade Disorganizers are unplanning for a groups of marchers to wind their way through Victorian Village and along High Street in Short North. Overseeing it all will be Doo Dah Less-Than-Grand Marshal: NBC4 News Queen Colleen Marshall.
Disorganizers also emphasize that the best way to experience Doo Dah is to be IN the parade. Get your humor out and create a memorable entry! No registration is necessary; all you have to do is show up. Line up for parade participants begins at Noon on Park Street (Enter from Goodale.)
"The Doo Day Parade is one of 2 parades in town (Columbus) where ANYONE can march with as little, or as much advance planning as you care to do. It is a parade that features political satire in many of the participants' themes but other themes are based merely in nonsense: some have no theme at all! The only rule they have, that I know of is no flagrant advertising of businesses or agendas. It's basically just a family friendly, community parade, held every year, on the morning of July 4th.Participate or just watch from neighborhood streets or on High st: It's a great way to celebrate the country's Independence Day holiday in Columbus, Ohio!" Comment by Mr and Mrs Fuzzy SuKuni.
