What is it about a parade?? Doesn’t matter what you’re celebrating- you have to love a parade.

No clowns at the parade — just adorable little children dressed up in ethnic outfits, a dog decked out in blue and white, teens with Greek flags as capes and faces painted. There were floats and marching bands, with some Greek dancing, but nothing too wild.

I think the parade was wonderful - a great effort by all involved!

My take on timing is that organizers wisely worked to make sure that the parade became the kind of event that would aptly represent Hellenes and as such had to work out the kinks in getting there.

Now let’s put all of our tremendous Greek energy into making it even better and even bluer next year!

Filia!

(P.S. I will be posting additional pictures on my blog soon if you are interested.)

No, I didn’t see Anna Vissi. I think I was sitting in the wrong spot ’cause I didn’t see any of the celebrities like I did last year.
