Saturday is the conclusion of the fantasy Fest activities with the big parade down Duval Street, the whole length of the island. This year the duration for our float - #49 - was 4 hours to go about 1.5 miles. Lots of stopping. We left the "marshaling area" at 7:30 PM, we arrived at our restaurant for after parade dinner and libation at about 11:30. The first group of photos is from the pre-parade activities in the area of our float.

Our float had a live band and thus required a security guard who would not be distracted from his duties by scantily clad women:

The goal of the parade is to distribute all the beads we have so the float organizers won't be required to take them home.

The most interesting thing for the parade participants is our audience, they really make it interesting:
