PART ONE - ZOMBIEWALK

Entertainment on the Harbourfest Main Stage-6:45pm
Lots of Zombies All Ages
FOREVER DEAD - [Punk/Rockabilly/Rock]
Zombie Dancers

BYOB - Bring your own brains for the Zombie Walk - for those who know not what they are we encourage you to google it - this is a fun and participatory public performance activity started by horror movie fans turned mainstream / popular. People get together dressed up like zombies, and do what zombies do best, lurch, shamble and drag barely hinged limbs down the street - this is campy theatrical fun anyone can participate in! They’re everywhere worldwide and have even encouraged cities to compete in breaking the world record for the largest gathering of Zombies - are you a world record breaking city Thunder Bay? For example; Grand Rapids, Michigan holds the 2008 Guinness World Record of 4,000 Zombies, crazy for a city their size. For Zombie Walk participants, donations of non-perishable and canned food items for local food banks would be appreciated. One of the aspects of Zombie walks is to raise awareness of Hunger in the world.

ZOMBIE WALK - Get Dead at 5:45 - 6:15pm meet at Definitely Superior Art Gallery then at 6:15 - 6:45 the dead will walk out into the Downtown Thunder Bay North Core - we will give you instructions - at 6:45 Zombies will take over the Main Stage at Harbourfest where Rockabilly band faves Forever Dead will perform along with Zombie Dancers - please refrain from eating others while Zombie moshing. During the day in front of the Black Pirates Pub there will be a make - up station to help you get Zombified and a Blood Orange Juice station - maybe a dirt pit to roll around in to truly make it look like you were in the ground - We are encouraging all forms of Zombies to form, from high art Mexican Day of the Dead zombies to classic horror zombies, fast zombies, slow zombies, green and blue and grey zombies, bloody and beautiful zombies as long as your dead... What do we want?... Brains! When do we want them?... uunghh!
