Mid-Autumn Festival 2010 | Mass Lantern Procession

My honey and I went through the overpass to the other side of Eu Tong Sen St. to await the parade. Bright arches decorated with lanterns lit up the street.

He sat on a hydrant to rest his feet while I took more pictures. There were a lot of people milling about as that side of the street was closed to traffic for the parade. Some waited on the overpass itself. I was kinda expecting more people. Then again, it isn't really a populous city.

Then the procession arrived. In trickles and in droves. Among the revelers were families, school children with their teachers and other groups.

There were even some who danced their way through the streets and drew smiles all round.

People joined the procession as it passed. They should end up at the river banks in Clarke Quay where the giant lanterns are. It was still a little far and someone didn't want to walk so we hopped on the train instead, teehee!

Before that we lingered a little longer to savor the atmosphere in Chinatown.
