Brooklyn Idiotarod

At Elsewhere

East Williamsburg

Deck out your cart — judging happens
Costumes are half the point, go big
Rooftop stairs get slippery, watch your step

Race a decorated shopping cart through Brooklyn streets in your wildest costume. The Idiotarod is 23 years of glorious chaos, street theater, and competitive absurdity.

They recommend it:
