"The Doo Dah Parade is a popular farcical and flamboyant parade held in Pasadena, California about once a year, usually in the fall or winter. Conceived in 1976 by several friends as a response to the traditional formality of the Rose Parade, which is also held in Pasadena. So they decided it would be fun to have an alternate parade that year. Some of the early participants were Snotty Scotty and the Hankies, The Lawn mower drill team, The Briefcase drill team and General Hershey Bar, among many others. The Bastard Sons of Lee Marvin, The Men of Leisure Synchronized Nap Team, and the band "Snotty Scotty and the Hankies, still the Official band. Many groups participate in the Doo Dah Parade as a fundraising effort for various charities"
I've taken a liking to street photography and parades are a perfect place to take photos of people, both in the parade and peoples reactions to the parade in the crowd. The Doo Dah is my favorite so far.
