The 2d Annual Carnival de Oruro Parade will take place on Sunday 15 March 2015 on Four Mile Run Dr. The parade will organize on S Shirlington Rd and march west on S Four Mile Run Dr to S Walter Reed Dr. The parade preparation begins at 9.30a with an 11a kickoff. The parade ends at 4p with teardown expected to be complete by 5.30p. Westbound Four Mile Run Drive will be closed for the event.
Due to some unfortunate issues with last year’s parade, the Arlington Special Events Committee has attached some additional conditions to the parade. These include:
The parade celebrates Bolivian culture and the Carnival of Oruro,a festival dating back more than 2000 years that takes place in Oruro, Bolivia. It is one of UNESCO’s Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Originally an indigenous festival, the modern celebration incorporates a Christian ritual around the Virgin of Socavón.
Comité pro Bolivia, the organizers of the event, invite the community to attend the parade.
