Just in case you’re not already overwhelmed with photos from Solstice, here are the last I’ll post this year (though Anne might still add a few of hers).
7510 Tired Angel
As everyone follows the last float to the party at Alameda Park, some exhausted kids get rides.
7512 Gentle Dance
Some fairies still found energy for gentle dancing in the flow of celebration.
7523 Refreshments
Large areas of the park are given over to food and drinks, while other parts have arts and crafts on sale.
7536 Free Play
Mostly though the parade party is about music, dancing, and freedom to play. There are so many different activities going on in different parts of the park, and all of it has this easy feeling of freedom and community.
7542 Infusion Into Town
The heightened colors, sounds and moods seem to gradually disperse across the city as people walk, ride and drive away from the park festival. For the rest of the weekend you’ll often see someone in face paint or costume, and occasionally glimpse a magic wand extending from someone’s sunroof.
