For the 38th year, artist and activist Joey Skaggs purports to hold a march in honor of "hype, hypocrisy, deceit, bigotry, and downright foolishness." All are welcome to create outrageous floats and dress up as look-alikes in colorful costumes "to reflect the folly of the nuttiest politicians, crooked corporate leaders, silly celebrities, and whoever else has been a total fool in the past year."
With the theme of "Countdown to Complete Idiocy" this year, marchers will be treated to a ChatGPT Degree Booth, a Pegasus Spyware Booth where you can collect intel on your friends/enemies, a Ticketmaster Booth for non-existent Taylor Swift tickets, and a Burning Pit for educational books deemed inappropriate by religious extremists.
Marchers will assemble at Fifth Avenue and 59th Street at Noon on Saturday, April 1, then proceed downtown to Washington Square Park for the grand finale: A climactic crowning of the King of Fools.
