Some of the costumes were grim which work well so close to Halloween.







Joining the parade crowd.







Parade is a family-friendly event and so really popular with many families.







Different costumes.





Even though this year didn't see the biggest crowds, it was still very busy.



City skyline in the background.



Parade arriving at its destination.







Different performances and music are an integral part of the event.









School bus converted into a ball pit was an interesting and popular idea.









It was nice to see that most people dressed up for the event.





Ummm...wat?

And a few from my little excursion around the bay yesterday to see the fall colours on the Bonavista Peninsula. Unfortunately, I left it too long and they were mostly gone.

Thanks for bumping our I would have missed it. That festival looks like fun. I wonder how long they've been doing that?

[SpongeG]

they've been doing it for 25 years. Its put on by the public dreams society which has been around since 1986 apparently, but that group ended and both events were taken over by another group called the dusty flowerpot cabaret in 2013.

They also do an event in the summer called luminaries. people make or bring paper lanterns and they walk around in a parade and there are bands etc.

It is held at trout lake in east van but it falls on the same day as the fireworks in english bay, its sort of an alternative event for people who don't want anything to do with the fireworks. They tried doing it at canada place one year and i believe they did it in gastown as well before, but people seem to prefer the east van location.

I was in Vancouver in the summer and had to take some pictures of the local palm trees in and around Vancouver. Finally getting around to posting them

Enjoy!

First stop is the classic spot, English Bay.

Last week a thick fog blanketed over Metro Vancouver for several days. It's a normal phenomenon in winter and this is how it looked like - enjoy!





Break of dawn in Fogcouver.







Fog covers everything but the tallest.





It's lonely above the clouds.









Burnaby in a sea of fog.





Low lying fog takes the metropolitan area in the night.















Bleaks of light through the blanket.

Lights at Lafarge in Coquitlam is a fun free-of-charge Christmas light display along the shore of Lafarge Lake.































The event is easy to reach with the new Evergreen Extension.
