Parade of Lost Souls...

On the Saturday night before each Halloween, we head out to enjoy one of East Vancouvers many festivals... The Parade of Lost Souls.  There is a secret route selected through a secret East Van community and only the home-owners along that route are told that they will be part of the route.  The starting point and starting time is only revealed on the festival website on the day of the parade.  Followers goes to the starting point during the designated time and are given a map to tell them the route to follow through the lanes and streets of the community.  We were in awe of how involved the decorations were!  Almost every house was done up with art displays, puppet shows, live bands, stilt walkers, bug plays, dancing, smoke, spooky music and so much more.  Pictures don't come close to doing it justice!  It was a wonderful event!  This year, Todd & Karin joined us with their family.  We had so much fun but left before finishing the parade, after 1.5 hours, as the kids were getting really hungry.  1.5 hours and we weren't done!!
