"It is our function as artists to make the spectator to see the world our way, attempt to make art more than just something to look at, we want it to be something to be involved in, something too big to ignore."

According to public estimates, the Parade drew over 125,000 spectators in 2007, making it one of the largest parades in the Upper Midwest, and the largest in all of Minneapolis according to Mayor R.T.
