The People’s Parade for Life on Earth

The People’s Parade for Life on Earth

Join the Halifax Shambhala Touching the Earth Collective for a joyful community parade on Earth Day, April 22, 2023! This event is organized by the Grassroots Grandmothers Circle, Ecology Action Centre, School Strike 4 Climate Halifax, iMOVe and others.

Let us all come together to celebrate Mother Earth, to celebrate water which is life and to celebrate our beautiful communities and our continued resistance for love, justice, and life on this planet.

Date: Saturday, April 22, 2023 (Rain Date: Sunday, April 23, 2023)
Meeting Time: 1:00 p.m.
Parade Start Time: 2:00 p.m.
Post-Parade Celebration: 3:00-5:00 p.m.

This is an invitation for Touching the Earth Collective folks, family, and friends to come together in parade with all our relations.

Please bring your creativity to represent our community in whatever way you are inspired! We envision a crowd of elders and youth, drummers and choirs, drag performers and activists, puppets and costumes representing the more-than-human world.

Our Shambhala group will meet at 1 pm at The Wave/Sackville Landing on the waterfront and begin in ceremony with the Mi’kma’ki Water Walkers, who will lead the parade down the waterfront. We will end at Peace & Friendship Park for a community gathering and celebration.
