What is a Zombie Walk? A History
A zombie walk (also known as a zombie mob, zombie march, zombie horde, zombie lurch, zombie shamble, zombie shuffle or zombie pub crawl) is an organized public gathering of people who dress up in zombie costumes. Usually taking place in an urban centre, the participants make their way around the city streets and through shopping malls in a somewhat orderly fashion and often limping their way towards a local cemetery or other public space (a series of taverns in the case of a zombie pub crawl).
What About Broad Ripple?
A zombie gathering, which drew more then a 1,000 people to the local mall in Pittsburgh, PA one Sunday morning, was certified as a Guinness World Record in 2006. Since then many cities have tried to beat their record. Some almost succeeded. This will be Indy's 4th Annual Zombie Walk. Originally started for fun, in 2006 in the Broad Ripple area, the Indy Zombie walk started with just a handful of people dressed just as zombies and paraded and bar hopped together. In 2007, only one year later, our numbers quadrupled with at least 50+ zombies for the walk down the sidewalks of Broad Ripple Avenue furthering a head count of 170+ zombies just a few hours later in a single bar.
