Introduction/Definition/etc

An annual event along Georgia Avenue in North West Washington,

from Petworth to Howard University, full of music and further

down, food, booths, etc.  Lots of people, parade style,

with huge audio systems pulled by tractor trailers

generators and followed by people dancing,

usually in costume/  traditional dress, and some

pulling huge trains of decorations...

Body

First one of these, so loud that kids needed to be inside glassed

doors to lower the sound to something comfortable.

Didn't catch all of the event, just some floats going by,

the end, and a few things around there.  Later biked through

Georgia Avenue to Howard University area, and still people

all over the streets.  Nice to take over the streets and

Carribean music is so happy and upbeat that it's hard

not to be uplifted, in spirit, if not in motion...
