Coconut Grove’s annual King Mango Strut is back to poke fun at 2012’s most outrageous stories in a grand, satiric, end-of-the-year parade. The only question: What (or who) will take the most heat this year?
Election madness will likely play a leading role. But what about the dearly departed Whitney Houston? The Twilight cheating scandal? And the parade will surely feature a few Miami zombies lurking about, with some marauders dressed as bath salts to match.
The King Mango Strut begins at 2 p.m. this Sunday at the corner of Commodore Plaza and Main Highway. It then turns left onto Main Highway, left onto Grand Avenue and left again at Commodore Plaza. Chances are, the strut’s costumed crazyfolk will circle around more than once. Commodore Plaza will remain closed until 6 p.m. to provide ample time for the things all King Mangoes and Miamians enjoy: booze, bands, and a wide variety of strutting.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,800 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
