The band up on stage was an all female Haitian group. Though I'm not sure they were all actually from Haiti.

At the front of the parade were Panamanian girls in their traditional dresses.


Then came the huge headdresses that reminded me of Mardi Gras Indians.
This first girl was soooo tired by the time she came to where we were at the end of the route.

Her friend helped her carry the outfit when he could

But she was a good sport and took pictures with anyone who wanted. These two Japanese girls obviously weren't part of the festival but the juxtaposition of cultures made for a great shot.

Close up of some detail work on her outfit.

This guy kept dancing suggestively and pointing to Cedony. She made a friend.

Some more beautiful outfits. I don't know which country they represented so I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves.











And lastly, I have to give this older lady props. That headdress looked heavy and yet she was still trucking after walking the whole route.
