Vaisakhi

_DSC3825
Vaisakhi is a Sikh Festival, held yesterday in Vancouver.
A parade, that lasts most of the day, takes place in my neighbourhood.
Nevertheless there's still a bunch of walking involved.
The guesstimate for attendance at the Vancouver event is at least 50,000.

My guesstimate is higher.
The attendance at the festival in Surrey next weekend will be double Vancouver's, at the very least.
