The city is well into Festival Season now (more of which in another post) and buzzing with tourists. One of the free events staged each year is the Festival Carnival Parade, which took place on 17 July. Several hundred performers and participants assemble on The Mound and come down the hill and along Princes Street to the West End where many then continue into the Gardens and give performances.
The parade itself is a mixture of professional entertainers and community groups, with dancers, acrobats, drummers, pipers, a brass band, Chinese dragons and more. I took a video as they passed by, trying to reflect the colour and energy and excitement they generated. Sadly it was a dull, cloudy day, but at least it stayed dry and warm.
You can see the full 18 and a bit minute video by clicking on this link.
Or you can find the fourteen individual clips that have gone into it on my YouTube Channel.
