Run Smelt Run is a non-motorized, outdoor parade performance on Sunday May 26th, 2024, in celebration of the annual smelt run on Lake Superior.

This will be a lively, site-specific spectacle, featuring masks, large puppets, and a Twin Cities brass band, the Brass Messengers.

Images will include:
- a stilt walking Royal Guard.
- an energetic school of silver smelt puppet and mask dancers.
- a musical procession featuring a giant Smelt Queen.

The parade will begin at 3:30pm, at the Aerial Lift Bridge, on the lawn in front of the Maritime Museum, with a brief performance to introduce the puppets and the Brass Messengers.

Everyone will be invited to join the procession down the Lakewalk.
Wear silver. Smelt Up!

Following the parade will be a smelt fry and dance at Zeitgeist Arts Cafe, 222 E. Superior St
