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!
