Welcome to the Official Site of Athens, GA's Own Halloween Mardi Gras, The WILD RUMPUS!!! Prepare to Rump.
The 13th Annual Wild Rumpus Halloween Celebration is coming in 2021. All are invited to participate in the Wild Rumpus by dressing in costume and marching!
Date: Halloween weekend, Friday and Saturday Oct. 29-30, 2021
Location: Athens, GA USA.
We did a great 2020 “Pandemic Edition” Wild Rumpus… We were online with The Rumpus Show (see below!) and the DJ Live Stream on location with Diamond Partner, The Classic Center… as well as SOCIALLY DISTANCED all over the globe wherever Rumpus fans and believers are found. It was a hoot, a holler, and a howl! Thank you to all who participated!
Our hopes as we move into 2021 are that we should be able to resume partying in the street all together next time. Of course we will monitor the covid and make sure the next Wild Rumpus is safe and fun, as always! We will know more as we move toward the date, but keep your fingers crossed for all systems go, and we’ll put the word out as things develop!!

Initial Goal: $1,000.
Wild Rumpus Parade & Spectacle 2020, titled “MAGICAL” and planned for Oct. 31 in Athens, GA, is raising money this year for Food Bank of Northeast Georgia, specifically for their amazing Food2Kids program in Athens.
With the mounting crisis of school closures right now- and the immediate needs of kids who depend on school for breakfast and lunches- we are beginning our fundraising campaign right away to support the efforts of Food2Kids. They are committed to maintaining their regimen of weekend meals for the 500 kids in Athens-Clarke County currently served, with NO LAPSE in coverage!!
(See Food2Kids volunteers at work)
Goals:
$275 feeds one child for an entire year
Food2Kids total yearly budget: $135,000. Because the need is immediate, Wild Rumpus will donate 80% of all incoming funds to Food2Kids, with 20% going to WR 2020 startup income. Let’s see how many kids we can feed-
Help smash our initial goal of funding 10 kids: If we can generate $3,437.50, we will do it! Many more than 500 kids in ACC are in need… If we are successful, Food2Kids can ramp up to meet this need. Please sign up to sponsor Wild Rumpus 2020, and Food2Kids through Food Bank of Northeast Georgia!!
