Armies of zombies, haunted carriages escorting vampire models, gypsy equestrians performing dexterous feats, crowd-trained horses drawing zombie "floats", a masochist comedian, blind stuntman and Titan of the WWE, Tampa Bay Derby Darlins, contortionists, jugglers, street performers and circus performers are just a sampling of the unique spectacles joining Mama Guava in this year's Stumble and Freak Show Parade!

Co-hosting the parade will be Ivonna Cadaver, Hollywood's diva of darkness! A Tampa native, Ivonna wouldn't miss the chance to join this daring assembly of Tampa's local performing arts community!

The infamous non-motorized return of the Mama Guava Stumble and Freak Show Parade begins at 8:30pm on Saturday, October 31, 2009, and you can bet that Mama and her Army of the Dead are ready to knock the stockings off of all the skeptics!

Be assured that the Stumble and Freak Show is not your typical run-of-the-mill, Bay-area parade, showcasing the same floats year after year (yawn)! This is Ybor City's Guavaween!

Think you know Guavaween? Think Again!
