Now in its fourth year, Phoenix Annual Parade of the Arts (PAPA) celebrates "Lean, Green Parading Machine" with its FREE high-energy celebration of creativity. "The Worlds Only Parading Arts Fair," as it has become known, gives all members of our community the opportunity to express themselves through costumes, art, and performance while marching together through the streets of Downtown Phoenix. Everyone is invited to walk, ride, dance, or crawl along in the parade.
