Parade the Circle

Well I attended my first Parade the Circle on Saturday 6/13 and had a great time and took lots of photos. Parade the Circle was first started in 1990 with 125 participants and about 1000 onlookers and has grown over the years. This past Saturday over 2000 people participated in the parade with over 70,000 people attending. Anyone who wants can march in the parade for an entry fee of $6.00, the participants ranged in age from little kids to senior citizens. I got there early an ran into a lot of other photographers, we went to the staging area by the Art Museum parking lot and got photos of the participants as they put on there costumes and makeup then I went off to find a good spot to shoot the parade. They have the parade every June, check it out next year if you get a chance.
Here are a few photos from the event:
