Celebrate the Trolls 20th Birthday at Trolloween
Posted by MylindaS under Art , Costume , Dance , Events , Events Calendar , Fashion , Free , Items of Interest , Kids , Outdoor Activities , Parades , Performance , Seattle , Seattle Neighborhoods , Seattle News , Theater , WeirdTrolloween is the Birthday celebration for Seattle’s famous Fremont Troll.
October 31st is the Trolls 20th Birthday!
It is held on his Birthday October 31st at 7pm sharp.
The celebration starts with the Troll under the Aurora Bridge (Troll Ave & N 36th St), as he loves a good laugh and a great story. Then revelers will be off for the annual Haunt of Fremont (a procession of costumed dancers & performers (& you) taking over the streets of Fremont.)
This 20th anniversary of the birth of the Fremont Troll, you’ll be experiencing the tale of Dante’s Inferno. Many seasoned artists and performers will present their twisted and whacky version of this dark tale, known to us as: ‘Just a little lover’s spat ~ honey’.
Rain or dry, revelers will sing, dance, marvel, and laugh their way through the dark underbelly of Dante and Fremont. This is an unsweetened and piquant family event with plenty of fun to scare the laughs out of any stoic kid or stogy adult.
Vamola
Come dressed as your favorite dead celebrity and take part in our costume walk across the final stage, under the Fremont Bridge, for the appreciation of your community.
If you can lend a hand to help pull off this fabulous piece of street theater, meet by the Troll at 6:30pm & check in with the volunteer coordinator to get a job.

John Cleese is doing a show?!?
I’m glad to hear it. someone told me he was dead. Or someone told me that he died in an accident or something.
No offense to Mr. Cleese. I’m glad he is still doing performances.
