As a non-profit, we rely on our community’s support, and this year we have faced significant challenges. Now, more than ever, we’re calling on our community to rally behind us with donations and involvement! We want to see you not just on the night of Parade, but throughout the year, at the beautiful Dusty Flowerpot Cabaret Studio, where workshops, meetings, costume sales, comedy, dating events, and community rentals happen. We hope to see you on November 1st and beyond!” — This year’s theme is Unplugged!, inspiring us all to unplug from our daily lives and connect directly with each other, with new friends, and with the beauty of the park. Parade of Lost Souls UNPLUGGED kicks off on Friday, November 1, 2024, at Trout Lake Park (John Hendry Park, 3360 Victoria Dr, Vancouver).
