Marche du Nain Rouge 2024: Hundreds celebrate Detroit spring ritual

From rat mobiles to exuberantly decked out human-powered floats, hundreds of metro Detroiters showed up in style — and in many cases outlandish costumes — for the Marche du Nain Rouge in Midtown Detroit on Sunday.

Despite chilly 30-degree temperatures, crowds began gathering at 11 a.m., with pre-parade parties extending from Honest John’s restaurant to Seasons Market, for the annual spring ritual that marchs along 2nd Avenue from West Canfield Street south to Temple Street and the Masonic Temple.

Celebrated for an alleged 300 years, the Marche du Nain Rouge brings together the area’s most creative to ensure good fortune in the coming year.
