The Third Annual Handmade Parade theme is
“ Eno River Rhythm ”
We will create a parade that will bring the rhythm of the river to the streets!
...can you feel the beat ?
the pulse of the river ?
the heartbeat of town flowing down
the street one beautiful day?

We're inspired by the fantastic creations of Peter Minshall in Trinidad. Some have called them 'dancing mobiles'. His costumes are designed with the motion of the performer in mind, so that performer and costume are one.
Movement is motion and rhythm
Migration is movement and for some, flight...
What are other concepts that convey rhythm and movement?
How will you portray rhythm and movement with your costume and with your parade krewe?

| We chose to create each years theme around the Eno River. With it's headwaters in Orange County, the Eno River is an important part of our history and our present day community. In fact we rely on our beautiful Eno River for our very sustenance... The West Fork Eno Reservoir provides Hillsborough with a 786 million gallon reservoir for our drinking water. We believe it's important to protect and preserve this vital resource that flows right through downtown Hillsborough. The Eno River Association has been dedicated to conserving and protecting the nature, culture, and history of the Eno River basin since 1966.
