PARADES
The opening Parade at the 2001 Melbourne Fringe delighted 120,000
people (police estimate) in Brunswick Street as it made its idiosyncratic
way along Melbourne's coolest street to climax the Fringe Street party.
Zoom produced the Grand Street Parade for the Mornington Peninsula
Australia Day Festival from 1999 to 2003 more than 50 entries including
an aerial fly-past, community groups, service organisations and local
businesses. The parade has had horse-riders and horse-drawn carriages,
vintage cars, floats and pedestrian entries, llamas and even 3 elephants!
