And in keeping in tone with the circus theme, let's not forget the freakshow to end all freakshows ... the Zombie March. Hundreds of mutated ghouls will gather near GE Patterson and Main at 6 pm to make their annual stumble to Beale Street. If for some reason you want to get "zombified", just duct tape an X on your chest and enjoy your vicious, but good-natured, attack.
