arnivals in Ptown are unlike any other. Yesterday's parade  on Commercial Street was child-like in its innocence and glee, and cctoday's intrepid photag Pat Brooks was there with her camera along with an estimated 100,000 others. mointage1_700
Everyone loves a parade! And, in Provincetown, the annual Carnival Parade is the single busiest day of the year and the place to see and be seen! This year’s parade - Fairy Tales - was sure to be the best yet! Dozens of floats of all sizes and shapes will travel down Commercial Street starting in the east and working west.  Fairies were in abundance, and even the Pinoccio twins showed up and below... mointage2_600
... among the revelers were Three Blind Mice, Jack & The Beanstalk, the King and Queen of the day's events, and finally...

...Three Little Maids, some serious "hunks", Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf, a Witches beyond number, the Cheshire Cat, a pair of Robin Hoods and some which had to be seen from both sides.

Great pics, Pat. Reminds me of a Halloween night visit to P'town in the late '80s with an old girlfriend. I wore a kung fu outfit and she was a ballerina in a tutu. After the bars emptied at 1 am and Commercial Street was wall to wall with revelers, we ran into a guy wearing a tutu, ballet slippers and carrying a wand. He made a beeline for my girlfriend, tapped her on both shoulders with the wand and exclaimed, "Another fairy! I love it!" Everyone around us broke up laughing. My favorite memory of P'town.
