Spectacular Spectacle Coming April 1

New York City’s 41st Annual April Fools’ Day Parade looks at “What’s Real and What’s Not”, by New Jersey Stage, March 13, 2026

(NEW YORK, NY) — New York City’s 41st Annual April Fools’ Day Parade returns on April 1, 2026. In an era when truth is optional, elections are negotiable, civil rights are conditional, and reality itself has been rebranded as “fake,” the parade once again pokes fun at the past year’s displays of hype, hypocrisy, deceit, bigotry, and downright stupidity because the alternative is despair.

As always, participation in the parade is open to the public. Costumes, floats, look-alikes, whistleblowers, dis- information specialists, and bewildered bystanders are all welcome. The April Fools’ Day Parade Committee accepts no responsibility for emotional whiplash, existential dread, or sudden moments of clarity. Read the whole article here.

Get Ready for the 34th Annual April Fools’ Day Parade!

Join us at the 34th Annual April Fools’ Day Parade and 3rd Annual Trumpathon, April 1, 2019. The theme this year is “Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire.” The Grand Marshall, once again, is Donald Trump, who will be wearing flaming pants and pushing his Trump Kool-Aid Cart.

Watch the prep video here:

Chased by a mob of fact-checkers screaming, “Liar, liar, pants on fire!” Trump will steer the parade to Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue where the crowd of Trump look-alikes will toast his greatness while drinking his Kool-Aid.

The parade leaves from 5th Avenue & 59th Street at 12:00 Noon and will make one stop at Trump Tower to toast the President with his own Kool-Aid.
