Gillian's Parade Photos

Sunday was a fine sunny day for the CelticFest Parade in downtown Vancouver! The parade did not take place last year due to the Olympics, and in 2009 the drizzly weather prevented Eire Born's participation.

Thank you to all the dancers, parents, sound team, and Nora and Courtney for coming out to the 2011 parade and representing NPIDA! This day also marked the official debut of the Eire Born van, recently donated to EBIDS. (There will be a separate post about this in the near future).

Many thanks to Gillian S who submitted dozens of excellent parade photos; here are a few highlights:
