MAGA Magazine Fall Preview Fashion Show and Giant Puppet Parade
In honor of Halloween and to shine a light on the horrors that are being inflicted on our country, we cordially invite you to The MAGA Magazine Fall Preview Fashion Show and Giant Puppet Parade on Friday, October 31st, at the Newton Centre Green with shows at 4 pm and 5 pm.
As we ponder a MAGA future, we ask: How shall we dress? Our runway show includes: Measles Mini-dress, Shredded Constitution Gown, Bulldozer Activewear, Handmaid’s Tale Outfit 2.0, and more, and, of course, Lady Liberty to vanquish them all!Newton Indivisible musicians and members of BABAM (Boston Area Brigade of Activist Musicians) will lead a parade with Giant Puppets before the show!
There will be two shows, each approximately 40 minutes, with the first at 4:00 PM and the second at 5:00 PM. Find us at the intersection of Beacon and Center Streets for the parade and in the New Pilot Plaza (at the southwest corner of the parking lot) for the Fashion Show immediately following the parade. We look forward to seeing you!
