Parade of Lost Souls Festival: Secret Souls Walk & Dance Party 2012
byThe Parade of Lost Souls Festival is currently underway with the Secret Souls Walk and Dance Party rounding out the festivities on Saturday.
This year’s Secret Souls Walk invites artists, performers and patrons to explore what the end of this world age could look like – to explore, and to create what awaits us just over the horizon. Will our future be dark and depressing, or bright and beautiful? The choice is one for each of us to make…
Over the last week the festival has hosted workshops with costume creation, crafts, puppet making and more. Tonight they’ll have a Thriller workshop where you can learn the choreography to this zombie-shaking dance at the Britannia Community Centre.
The Parade of Lost Souls Festival’s Secret Souls Walk will then take place on Saturday, October 27, 2012 starting out from a secret location in East Vancouver at 5:30pm. In previous years there was an actual parade that went down Commercial Drive but this walk takes a different route, past art installations and performers along a planned course.
The location will be announced on the festival’s website and social networks in advance. Grab your costume and bring a suggested donation of $5 to take part, with proceeds benefitting Public Dreams.
Following the Secret Souls Walk there will be a dance party starting at 9:00pm at the Rickshaw Theatre (254 E. Hastings) with DJ Oker and DJ Tango. Admission is $25 (tickets can be purchased online in advance) and this is a 19+ venue.
If you would like to attend the Secret Souls Walk Dance Party on Saturday night, I have 2 tickets up for grabs. Here’s how you can enter to win:
- Leave a comment on this post (1 entry)
- Post the following on Twitter (1 entry)
I will draw one winner at random from all entries at 10:00pm tonight (Thursday, October 25, 2012). Must be 19+ to attend. Enjoy responsibly and plan a safe ride home.
Update The winner is @jonathan_uy!

love parade of lost souls!
I’m curious, but if I’m not there by 5:30 will I be missing out on parts of it? or can I do my own a bit later? Last year, I didn’t make it 🙁 (granted, I showed up at 8!)
Best Vancouver event!
Definitely going to the parade, after party would be fun too!

I only got back from practising the Michael Jackson Thriller dance choreography, it’d be great if I get a ticket to the party and trot the dance moves out there!
