One Wild and Wacky Parade

ADP_IPF_DrumMajor[2009]

One thing I love about living in Atlanta is the great festivals that occur throughout the year. My favorite festival by far is the Inman Park Festival. Inman Park is a beautiful neighborhood in downtown Atlanta with gorgeous architecture, great restaurants and shops, and very fun residents. Each year the Inman Park Festival brings great artists and musicians from around the country, along with one fun parade.

The festival's parade is full of quirky bands and floats and is a huge draw for the festival itself. This is the drum major for the Seed & Feed Marching Band. Every single one of their band members is dressed just as wild and wacky as she is!

I took several photographs of this statue (you may remember seeing a wider version a few days ago). I ended up liking the look of this one the best of all.
