Spring Celebration Banishes Evil Spirit from Detroit
|
Detroit, Michigan -The Marche du Nain Rouge celebrates the coming of spring and banishes Le Nain Rouge (Red Dwarf) from the city. Legend dating from the 1701 founding of Detroit says that Le Nain Rouge is an evil spirit responsible for many of the ills haunting the city. The annual event to drive Le Nain from Detroit now has the feel of Mardi Gras, with a parade, street theater, costumes, and food and drink. Here Le Nain taunts the crowd from the top of a motorized cockroach.
