Christmas Day Parade, la Antigua, Guatemala

One of many random Christmas Day parades on the streets of la Antigua, Guatemala. This one was all children dancing, behind a truck playing loud dance music. Cartoon character homemade costumes I spotted included Marvin the Martian, Shrek, and every Looney Tunes and Disney persona imaginable. Both kids and bystanders were having a blast. My favorite is the Bart Simpson whose head keeps tipping over.
