Kick off the\u00a0Gila\u00a0River Extravaganza with a special Monsoon Puppet Theater\u00a0parade featuring the Monsoon Puppets.<\/p>\n

To\u00a0help you get in the spirit, we’ll do face painting, and mask and puppet making\u00a0with all materials provided at\u00a03:00\u00a0at Bikeworks on the corner of College and\u00a0Bullard.<\/p>\n

At\u00a04:00, we’ll line up at Bikeworks for the parade down Bullard Street.\u00a0Show off your painted faces, puppets, and masks!<\/p>\n

When the parade ends at Yankie and Texas, the party continues with more\u00a0kid- and family-centered fun in the street from\u00a04:30-10:00. Food vendors and\u00a0light refreshments provided by the Silver City Food Co-op and\u00a0Gila\u00a0Conservation\u00a0Coalition\u00a0will be available.<\/p>\n

Dance to live music by Silver City’s own great musicians: The Average Cadaver,\u00a0Bayou Seco, and The Roadrunners. We’ll teach simple folk dances for Bayou\u00a0Seco’s music, and you’re on your own for the other bands!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_1103\"<\/a>Wait until dark for a visual and aural feast for the senses.\u00a0Beginning about\u00a08:00, listen to inspiring spoken word performances by Hakim Bellamy,\u00a0Albuquerque’s inaugural poet laureate, accompanied by Albuquerque\u00a0musician and producer Colin Diles Hazelbaker. Local poets, Sam Castello, Tony Russ, and\u00a0A Billi Free will add their amazing verse and voices to the mix.<\/p>\n

Complementing the performances, projected on the Murray Hotel will be striking images and videos from a number of local videographers and photographers and produced by filmmaker Chris Theulen.<\/p>\n
