Finally, a sunny day in DC, at least for a few hours. This past Sunday was the Latino Festival in Mount Pleasant. The parade is the most impressive part of the day. What strikes me most about these photos is how colorful and festive the outfits are.
During the parade (which lasts about two hours) South and Central American countries are represented by musicians, dancers, and people walking in the streets. Children of all ages participate in the parade, as well as the very elderly. For these few hours on a Sunday afternoon I sat back and watched the parade participants and onlookers celebrate their culture and customs which are too often ignored and forgotten.
