This year&#8217;s 25th annual parade is Saturday, <strong>May 12</strong>, 1pm, with more than 300,000 folks expected on the sidelines of Allen Parkway cheering their favorite creative art. You&#8217;ll find all kinds of artistic, elaborate, and creative elements glued onto the art cars: mirrors, ping pong balls, plastic toys and fruit, cats, and any other theme you can imagine. Past parades have featured cars resembling bunny slippers, a hippo, cockroach, an outhouse, and Candy Land game.</p>
