The Festival of Lights Parade, in Tweets

The 2011 Festival of Lights Parade stepped off from State and 2nd streets Sunda night and enchanted another generation. We captured some of the Tweets before, during and after the parade. 

Parade-goers were eager to share the crowds, the floats, and the moment, so yes, click on those links, including the curtain-dropper, Santa on his sleigh.
