The sun is shining, and it's almost the longest day of the year ...
Welcome the sun with rows and rows of dancers in sparkly costumes ...
Bands of drummers with an African god for a leader ...
Dragons and monsters including Nessie, pushed by a man in a kilt ...
Families and kids buying gauzy halos and polka-dot wings from street vendors with carts...
Handmade floats powered only by human labor, like this one with Ganesha onboard and a blue Hindu god pushing it down the parade route...
Santa Barbara has a long tradition of an alternative parade for the summer solstice, which took place yesterday. We bicycled down to the parade route and around the car-challenged city. For lots more photos, click on any of these to see them on Flickr.

Solstice is one of my favorite (two) days of the year. I love the idea of a parade!
