Aron and I couldn’t resist joining the crowd in firing off some confetti rockets–though I found that some were easier to ignite than others. And Aron couldn’t resist snapping party poppers between his fingers.

Watching the dragons make their way down the colorful streets, dancing through the crowds, is always a highlight. The best ones are full of energy and seem to move synergistically with the drums.
