How Seattle Welcomes The Return of the Sun!

With a parade!   Who doesn’t love a good parade?!  Last year, I got to witness it for the first time, and I think you’ll agree, it was pretty amazing…  As long as it is not raining too hard tomorrow, I will go again to celebrate the Summer Solstice in Seattle’s Fremont district…

Some things to look for in this video I made last year:


1. Edderkop – Danish for spider.


2. Seattle Atheists dressed as pirates escorting the Flying Spaghetti Monster allowing Pastafarian adherents to be touched by His Noodly Appendages to receive His Blessing

3. Basic Rights for the Re-Animated Integrating Into Normal Society – (BRRAIINS) Reclaiming rights of Re-Animated Americans.

4. Rainbow City Band – Seattle’s one and only LGBT marching band

5. Washington Veterans Against the War – with Peace flags.

6. The Westcoast Kickball League – Organized kickball? Who knew?

7. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence

8. Doric Lodge #92 – Wait… The Freemasons??

    I always admired those parades.

    I wish to have a chance to see one for real. We don’t have here. The only ones, are on national day and march only those from army.

    But the parade I dream to see is from Rio de Janeiro.
