The parade originated in the days when wristbands were not available until the day before the stages officially opened. When the wristbands became available, a parade wound all through the campgrounds picking up more marchers at every camp and ending at the main entrance with a "will play for wristbands!" mini-concert.
Wristbands are now handed out upon arrival, but the tradition was too much fun to give up. Now the parade continues and the mini-concert serves as a "thank you" to the hard-working Festival Staff. If you don't play, bring a funny hat and join in anyway!
