Old Harbor is studded with Victorian-style hotels and gift shops of every description. On Saturday, July 4th, the Block Island parade lurched down Water Street to the delight of several thousand onlookers. Some highlights below. Some folks seemed to think they were at Mardi gras- It was a crazy scene on the streets. Check out the daredevil standing on the roof in the second picture. He was not a young kid and I had visions of him taking a dive. Glad to say, he eventually climbed down safely.
Next: The Manisses Farm
Looks like fun and home-spun. A real community parade. Good pics: good times.

Nothing more American than a hometown parade. This looks like such fun. I'm so glad you were able to share these great shots with us. I bet you had a blast.

Lovely colourful pictures! We have a similar parade here that's exclusive to the county I live in, County Durham. It's the Durham Miners Gala.... with lots of brass bands, banners ..... and drunk people! :O)
ReplyDeleteLots of fun and good pictures, Deedee. I expect the chap on the roof just wanted an unusual angle for his photos. I hope he got them after all that trouble!
