King Mango Strut Parade

Coconut Grove’s streets come alive with satire, music and eccentric flair as the King Mango Strut Parade returns for its annual celebration.

Taking place Sunday, January 4, the parade begins at Commodore Plaza and Main Highway before looping through CocoWalk and Grand Avenue. First launched in 1982 as a parody of the King Orange Jamboree Parade, the Strut has grown into a beloved community tradition drawing more than 10,000 attendees while holding on to its irreverent, bohemian spirit. Expect humorous floats, offbeat performances and plenty of local character in what’s proudly known as “the weirdest parade in the universe.” Admission is free, and parking is available at several nearby garages.
