July 4th in Columbus can only mean one thing – It’s Doo Dah time again – let’s have a parade.
As usual there is some political satire.

Some play on words (read the sign)

Characters

Apparently now since Mexico is off limits we now get our weed from Canada

The block party was going full tilt.

More characters

Primed for the parade.

The toaster car lady in a moment of reflection.

Clearly the saddest thing this country has recently done is the separation of children at the border – you knew this would be called out today.

More characters.

The wrestlers are here every year, but always welcome.

For some it was just too much.

The Grand Marshal.

An eclectic band.

I think we missed her at the washboard music festival a few weeks back.

One of the ‘art cars’

Miss Liberty made an appearance.

An alien made it across the border to join the band.

Even more characters.

Mixing sci-fi and political satire.

Mixing middle aged hula dancers with zombies.

The neighborhood (Short North) is undergoing tremendous growth where they are tearing down 2 floor buildings along High Street and replacing them with 8-12 floor buildings. All of the construction is causing much chaos in the area, and making just walking around tough with all of the closed sidewalks.

Not really sure.

The whole stupid MAGA thing has spawned a number of parodies.

They may protest but they are as patriotic as the rest of the country – they just believe it could be better for all.

A dancer from the Rocky Horror Picture Show burlesque group.

Even the Swing Dancers of Columbus were making statements this year.

And with that the zombies headed home and the parade was done.
