sabotabbyHappy Solstice everyone!
Last night marked the 30th annual Red Pepper Spectacle Arts Festival of Lights in Kensington Market—in my opinion, the best event Toronto has to offer. It's a parade filled with samba bands, clowns, papier mache puppets, paper lanterns, Indigenous art and activism, Doug Ford effigies, raccoons, and of course, a giant burning thing at the end. It's beautiful and joyful and in-your-face and there's nothing else like it.
I attempted to capture some of the energy on the street last night. It's too crowded to shoot properly, so I just take a million pictures and hope for the best. Here are the least bad.
