San Francisco loves showing off. That's why the City by the Bay loves all sorts of parades. There are at least 10 different parades and similar events every year. The biggest one is Chinese New Year's Parade. Not only is it the biggest but also the most spectacular, I'd say. Unfortunately, I didn't go to this year's Chinese New Year's parade because it poured that day. Another interesting parade is organized by the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans-gender community. The last weekend of June they celebrate diversity with festivals, conferences, exhibitions and arts. Not so long ago on a sunny spring Saturday I took a stroll downtown to shoot the St. Patrick's Day Parade. Just a couple of days before the actual March 17th, the city turns its green. It's a celebration not only for Irish citizens and their descendants, but for many others. From my own experiences it's yet another reason to get drunk and party until 2 am.
