A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor

A Prairie Home Companion
Gala Movie Premiere Parade
May 3rd, 2006 6:00 pm

The Highland Park Senior High marching band will lead 10 horse-drawn carriages carrying the stars. (Garrison Keillor, Robert Altman, Kevin Kline, Lindsay Lohan, Virginia Madsen, John C Reilly, Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin are expected to attend.)

The public is encouraged to line Wabasha Street between 5th Street and Exchange Street for best viewing and a chance to help welcome the stars back to St. Paul.

6:10 pm: Depart Rice Park

6:15–6:25 pm: Travel on Wabasha Street

6:25 pm: Arrive on Exchange Street in front of the Fitzgerald Theater for red carpet.



Did you go to the Parade?

We'd love it if you'd share your pictures. We plan on posting as many good photos as we can, so that folks who couldn't make it can get a good idea of the fun.
