More From The Parade of Wonders

I've witnessed so many of these parades that there are times it feels like this is what a normal lunch hour looks like in downtown Calgary. Everyone dressed up looking their best as they enjoyed the spring weather. You can almost see a sense of pride in everyone's face as they get to be their best selves by being someone else. It's no wonder that cosplay and dressing up have escaped from the original confines of Halloween and now seem like a cultural phenomenon that might eventually be what people do every day if we keep heading in this direction.
