ABOUT MASQ(P)ARADE!

Masq(p)arade! is a whimsical, progressive-style performance parade, showcasing a series of dynamic piano-based acts at the Pianos on State painted pianos. We enlist regional artists to create 15-minute works, incorporating playful masks and fancifully-painted pianos, to be performed in succession in the heart of Santa Barbara's historic cultural arts district. Participants are encouraged to get in on the fun by wearing their own vibrant masks while progressing up State Street to each performance in this imaginative, roving three-hour sequence. Now in its fourth year, Masq(p)arade! brings an art-centric, interactive parade back to State Street that is free of charge, full of surprises, and loads of fun!

 

The 4th annual Masq(p)arade! will take place on Friday, October 18, 2024, with shows every fifteen minutes from 5:30pm to 8:00pm.
