RELIVE THE BMX RADIO DAYS & MORE

The Parade's Theme Includes

an unforgettable experience as we plan to reimagine House Music's history while reliving the days when cars dominated the streets with House Music playing on the WBMX radio station with the world-famous multicultural DJ Group called the Hotmix 5, who popularized the sound and more.  They broke most of everyone's music involved in House Music on the airwaves in the early 80's, from WBMX to WGCI.

 

The Parade's journey began when we realized that there was a need for a more personalized approach to include expansion on the history of House Music's creation.  To date, we will continue to push boundaries to provide participants with the best possible House Music experience as it relates to its inception and future.


Other projects surrounding this event is the cultural nuances which will also be included in other parts of the parades featured attractions.  The parade's line up can include:  -Units with Floats  -Dance Groups  -Marching Bands,  -DJ's, Singers & Artists on Display -Car Clubs  -Corporate Companies  -Large Vehicles -Motorcycles  -Bike Ride  -Walking Performers  -Walking Units and more.
