Back when the city was in the year-long throes of celebrating being in existence for 375 years, we were going all out with parties, artistic installations, and all kinds of other cool shit.

Those remnants—some amazing and some ridiculous—may not be on par with the collective creative energy of something like Expo 67, but it has left us with genuinely memorable relics that, if we were lucky enough to be around when they became part of the cityscape, will have a lasting impact on our lives.

Thing is, celebrations like Trouble-Fête for Halloween (pictured above) were a one time thing, and we're wondering: Why?

In a city of dancers, party-goers, culture vultures, and fetish festival attendees, you don't think we'd jump at the chance to have a parade filled with costumes and reasonably creepy but still kid-friendly stuff?
