Drink to the Marche du Nain Rouge

I closed Happy Nowruz and happy 15th birthday to Crazy Eddie's Motie News by telling my readers to "Stay tuned for Marche du Nain Rouge as the Sunday entertainment feature." Without any further ado, I'm sharing CBS Detroit reporting on last year's event, This Midtown Detroit parade honors the city's culture and mythology.

Since 2010, the Marche du Nain Rouge has drawn thousands of people to Midtown Detroit each year in a vibrant celebration of community.
I started this blog in 2011, but it took me until 2013 to begin covering the Marche du Nain Rouge. That written, I've been blogging about it long enough that I can say I'm an early adopter.

This year's parade has just stepped off and Pure Michigan is promoting it in Marche du Nain Rouge Parade.

A festival where creativity wins and the evil spirits are chased away.
I can imagine the after parties. That way, I don't have to attend!

Both of these videos assume some knowledge of the Nain Rouge. I'm sharing Halloween Cocktails 2025: The Lore of the Nain Rouge both to get my new readers up to speed and because I can't resist a good, or at least competent, cocktail recipe video that includes supernatural lore.

Happy Halloween, friends! The lore we are bringing you this wonderful Halloween weekend is based around a Detroit legend known as the Nain Rouge...
I wonder if any of today's after parties are serving one or more of these drinks. Whether or not, drink responsibly!

That's a wrap for today's post. I might observe World Water Day late, or skip it until next year. Stay tuned to find out.
