It was a day of colorful costumes, loud music, festive spirits, boobs, booties and lollipops at the Carribean Festival Parade today, July 25th.
The parade started at 10am at 12th Street and Lonsdale Avenue, and continues down Lonsdale to Esplanade Avenue, then turns west and ends at Waterfront Park.
Here's Lonsdale Avenue closed as early as 8am in preparation for the parade.
At 10am, Kirby and I were stationed infront of the Thrift Store, phone fully charged to take pictures and videos. After few minutes, we can hear music from Upper Lonsdale and the whole entourage was started with the display of Andrew Saxton's float, with the MP walking and giving away Canadian flags.
When he came to where we were standing, asked him if it's ok to take picture with him. He was friendly and gave in.
The rest were all spectacular costumes from multicultural Carribean nations.
Kirby, my nephew sure enjoyed the ladies on their headdresses, skimpy clothes and beautiful smiles,
At the last part, he was able to take picture with this lady.
I sure enjoyed taking pictures, watching, dancing and entirely getting amused.
Lastly, we had fun with the goodies distributed during the parade.
After an hour and a half, parade was over and everybody walked to Esplade then to Waterfront Park to see the other part of the festival.
The three hour stay outdoor was worth our time.
