Ramadan Festival

I saw a Ramadan parade downtown this past Wednesday, August 31. People rode down the streets on horses and some carriages, and every few minutes a gun was shot off to scare people and move them out of the streets. Thousands of people crowded around the parade and took out their phones and cameras to film the parade. Many people held their cameras on my friends and me for several seconds, most likely because we stuck out as the only white people. I took tons of pictures and videos too. They capture the crowds and madness of the situation quite well if you ask me. I was getting pushed side to side as I was filming. I am trying to upload some videos. Hopefully they'll work when posted on my blog.
