About King Mango Strut

The King Mango Strut is a yearly humorous procession held in Coconut Grove, Florida. Established by Glenn Terry and Bill Dobson in 1982, it is hung on the last Sunday of each year. The motorcade, which utilizes the aphorism "Putting the 'nut' in Coconut Grove", is made out of buoys ridiculing neighborhood and national stories from the earlier year. The King Mango Strut was begun in 1982 by Glenn Terry and Bill Dobson as a satire of the yearly King Orange Jamboree Parade for the Orange Bowl.

In 2009 Glenn Terry and gathering treasurer Antoinette Baldwin got into an open disagreement about the inventive heading of the Strut, which finished in the city picking Baldwin to run the occasion, and Terry declining to walk in the motorcade in dissent. The motorcade is currently kept running by King Mango Productions, a non-benefit association headed by Mike Lucas.

There is no stringent section process for members. Just appearing to a gathering and reporting a longing to take part is sufficient. In one case, a gathering appeared upon the arrival of the occasion, with no earlier notice, and was permitted to walk with the procession. The Miami section of the Sierra Club has partaken since 1988, and a neighborhood Hare Krishna aggregate is additionally quite a while member.
