A Parade for the Other Folks Part 1

I went to the Minneapolis May Day parade today and what an interesting experience! No military squadrons, no guns, but a whole lot of other opinions from a wide variety of nontraditional groups.
Does your holiday parade have your local Roller Derby team featured in it?



How about the Atheists? Do they march in your local parades?



And the Clean Needle people?



We also had the Falun Ta fa (?) people performing their special version of Tai Chi



It was areally amazing event. Before the parade even started we were entertained by some nasty looking bikers:





Then the parade officially started with this beautiful lady:



The whole parade had a water theme. Here was a swamp witch.



I'm not sure how this was related to water but he was followed by a beautiful dragon,... er... sea serpent.





Most of the floats and marchers did have an obvious water theme. Here is a bevy of jelly fishe(es?) Or should that be a flotsam?





And here was a school of clown fish!
