The Ann Arbor Ozone Homecoming Parade
In 1972, the University of Michigan decided to cancel their homecoming parade due to lack of interest and dwindling attendance. Into that vacuum stepped counterculture artists, musicians, filmmakers, and performers to create the Ozone Parade, a free-for-all that showcased the wild creativity of Ann Arbor in the 1970s. In The Ann Arbor Ozone Homecoming Parade, filmmaker Terri Sarris takes us through the life of the parade through archival footage and the voices of participants and creators.
