However, we went to several other 'parades' before this one.
The Parade of Tall Ships was a part of Fleet week.
The Dance Parade gave an opportunity for many of the smaller immigrant communities in the city to dance down the avenue.
The Aids Walk was a parade of sorts where many thousands of all ages, races, and backgrounds walked to raise funds and to commemorate those who are no longer with us.
