Lakeshore-Parade Saturday

Many  people took chairs with them to sit and sitting on chairs looking at the parade and drinking hot drinks.

For us it is customary at the weekend to spend time with the whole family.I mean it’s not only parents, children, old people, but also favorite animals, dogs of all breeds and sizes.

A special event of the parades are the brass bands.
Police Orchestra of Toronto opened parade.

 

It is all-volunteer parade in which many of Etobicoke’s organizations are involved.

It should be noted the beautiful costumes of volunteers participating in the parade.

Both children and adults met Mickey, Santa, Warriors with delight.

Past us passed graceful grandmothers in their caps, big hares with huge carrots, penguins, pigs.

They danced ridiculously, sang, gave us gifts and sweets and congratulated,,Merry Christmas,,

How much had delight the kids ,when the car was passing by with a teapot, a hare with a clock and a red house.

In general on the street  can hear children’s laughter, talking adults.

The children ran after cars and gathered themselves sweets  as gifts.

All put  Santa’s red caps on heads.
These are small children and elderly people.

And the elderly Santas 🙂 drove by car and played on wind instruments
