There are people who are paid to be part of the festivities. This one wore a really nice costume.
There is a huge parade that is lots of fun to watch.
Must keep things tidy. LOL
These really tall costumes are my favorite. They would be tricky to walk around in. I would fall flat on my face if I were to try it. If I hadn't hurt my toe, I would have dressed up as a fairy. It is so much fun to go dressed up.
