Symbols, Drums, And Banners
Next was a humble hand pulled cart with a drummer inside backed by lavish banners. Surrounding that drum cart were other folks playing cymbals and small drums.

Final Huge Lit Dragon
The parade ended with the arrival of the longest and most dramatic dragon of the parade. It was lit from inside and moved slowly back and forth across the street, first thrilling one side, then the other.

The Tail Passed Last
The huge, long tail of the dragon passed by last. It's internal lighting created a lovely, dramatic scene.
