The Gathering Parade

I missed out on The Gathering last year because I was too busy. I was too busy to go this year too, but I decided that didn't matter. It's a fantastic event, with more to see than you can fit into your day.

Here is a selection of photos of the parade, which traveled from East Main Street, around the Green, up Bank Street, and down Grand Street to Library Park. This isn't even close to including all the groups that participated, just a sampling.

The event at Library Park is in the next post.

Simply amazing.................
Waterbury is a diverse City and the collection of all people is what makes it great. I embrace all cultural exchange as a learning process for all children & family.
An invaluable family experience!
