Miami’s off-kilter new year celebration struts back into Coconut Grove this Sunday, Jan. 5. The King Mango Strut has been a kooky Miami tradition since 1982.
People come in themed costume groups to poke fun at a newsy event of the year — like in 2023, when a group dressed as Taylor Swift and an army of fans after a fiasco involving concert ticket sales.
As the event’s website describes it, the King Mango Strut puts the “nut” in “Coconut Grove” with tongue-in-cheek costumes and live music.
The parade will run from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the streets of Coconut Grove.
