This parade was called ¨Corso de las flores y la Alegría¨. It took place on January 6, 2009 in Ambato, Ecuador. I'm sure about the location. I'm trusting my camera to be right about the date.
This parade was not through the center of Ambato on Avenida Cevallos like the other parades that take place in town. It was up on the hill southeast of town, on Avenida de los Chasquis.
It was a big parade, and as you can see, the day was sunny and hot. I took a lot of pictures. I am going to show them in order over the next several days.
Cotton candy is as popular in Ecuador as it is in the United States. This vendor is anticipating a big day.
Flor and everybody else are waiting for the parade to start.
What kind of a parade would it be without the local fire trucks?
El Heraldo is the Ambato newspaper.
Here is the banner for the opening of the parade. As I mentioned, the pictures are in order, so this banner came in the parade after everything that is before it in this post. This guy is probably just saying Hi to somebody he knows. There was a lot of that going on.
