Carnival in Provincetown is Quite Lively!It's held once a year, always in August. This is a day when town government, neighboring municipalities, local and visiting gay and lesbian folks, tourists, all kinds of families, and the Portuguese community pick a theme, come together, make and don costumes and floats, and hold a two mile parade through the center of town. Sometimes the crowds are ten deep, thousands of people cheering, laughing, being shocked, and joining in all the fun.

ReplyDeleteVery interesting parade! I love the first picture of the flowery peace sign.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun...to laugh and laugh at ourselves and not be too serious all the time...looks like a rollicking good time was had by all.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure you could keep me out of a parade that had a peace theme.
ReplyDeleteThe 60s was a time of such powerful convictions that I don't know if I could join in at making a parody of the era's peace movement.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping you'd get some great shots and you did!
ReplyDeleteThese are signs of the times just like before. Peace never goes out of style. (Some of those outfits surely do though!!)
What a fun way for you to end your vacation. Woot-woot!!
xoxo

cs, this parade was a frolicking hoot. the diversity alone was a model of peace. you would have loved it.
snow, there was so much joy and wild communion to the day that i'm pretty sure you would have enjoyed all of it. but i also know what you mean.

ReplyDeleteHA! How fun. I am anxiously awaiting the new Woodstock film. I was such a little teenaged hippie. Fake butt is a little disturbing!
