The Strut the Hooch parade, described by its late founder, Steve Scott, as “weird, wacky and wonderful,” is once again set to bring its offbeat energy to downtown Columbus.
According to the Strut the Hooch Facebook page, the parade is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. May 2 at the corner of 10th Street and First Avenu, near the Springer Opera House.
This year’s parade will also give participants an opportunity to remember and honor Scott, who many knew as “Captain Hooch,” died last year at the age of 82.
According to the group’s application page for the parade, the mission of the parade “is to bring together and celebrate our differences, our culture showing the traditional dress of your home country, our talent and creativity; it is parade of joy! “…
