Swarm of flesh-gobblers

Braised brains and hanging flesh flakes will be everywhere Saturday, when George A. Romero’s cinematic visions overtake Midtown Sacramento. The Zombie Walk 2017 starts in Roosevelt Park with a gathering called the Carnival of the Dead. From there, legions of leg-draggers will stagger down S Street, ushering their rotted faces through one of the city’s busiest corridors of bars and restaurants. The event, billed as intentionally-perturbing public art, will then return to its carnival for a screening of Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. Professional makeup artists, food trucks and live entertainment will all be part of the mix. 940 P Street, www.facebook.com/saczombiewalk.
