This year’s FestiFools and FoolMoon parades are going to rock. The annual events — which see people march through the streets of Ann Arbor with outlandish papier-mâché puppets — has a musical theme this time, naming “Iggie Popp” as its “Luminary Grand Marshal” in a nod to the city’s rock ’n’ roll history. (Iggy Pop and the Stooges formed there.) The weekend kicks off with the illuminated FoolMoon “Rhythum & Fools” from dusk to midnight on Friday, starting at Washington and Ashley Streets with performances from the Detroit Party Marching Band, the winner of the Neutral Zone’s Battle of the Bands contest, and the Community High and University of Michigan jazz programs. The fun continues from 4-5 p.m. on Sunday with a “RevFOOLution” on Main Street.
