The official colors of this year are polka dots and pinstripes because Grand Marshal Will Antill has color blindness. The theme this is year ‘Fruit Salad: Come Toss A Good Time’ and the theme song is ‘Push Groove’ by Instamatic, a mash-up of Salt N’ Pepa’s ‘Push It’ vs Dee-Lite’s ‘Groove Is In The Heart.’ The event was part of the 48th Decadence celebration.
