2009 Fremont Solstice Parade





Being that I'm a photojournalist and also the fact that I've never been to the Fremont Solstice parade in 25 years of living in Seattle, I decided it was time I should go. It's a celebration of the Summer Solstice and artistic free spirits. Most of the parade revolves around the naked bicycle riders, and goodness knows there were a lot of them. Most of those photos can 't be posted on this blog. But it's just a very fun event that that the city of Seattle allows to go on year after year. They have tried to stop the naked bicycle riding in past years, but that was futile. So for those daring young cyclists on their riding machines... Let your freak-flag-fly.
I have to mention that those beautiful white dresses in the last photo were made entirely of paper. No idea how they were made, but they were fabulous!
