It’s not every day a herd of dinosaurs shows up on your street. Yet last weekend, LiveDAYBREAK rolled a retrofitted mini‑school bus through Daybreak while inflatable dinos danced curbside. Neighbors waved from porches and driveways, smiling big—and staying safely apart.

What happened
First, the LiveDAYBREAK team outfitted a mini‑school bus with speakers. Next, they queued up feel‑good tunes. Then, a troupe of dino‑costumed dancers took to the sidewalks to deliver a roaming, family‑friendly show. Finally, the pop‑up parade wound through multiple neighborhoods so more residents could enjoy the spectacle from home.
“This was a ton of fun and with everything going on, our team wanted to take a party to the people but wanted to follow the social distancing guidelines,” said Robert Stroud, Marketing Manager for LiveDAYBREAK.
Why it mattered
- Lifted spirits: Music and motion brought laughter to porches and balconies.
- Kept distance: The entire event followed 2020 social‑distancing guidelines.
- Built connection: Even apart, neighbors shared the same joyful moment.
