The parade on Saturday morning is a HUGE event, it features cosplayers, cosplay groups, and various fandoms. Thousands of people turn out to watch it and it is debatable whether it is the spectators or the participants that have more fun. There is so much going on with just this one event that 3 pages of photos barely encompasses it and I know we have missed out on a lot of it.

These are the final parade photos and are from Leo Nocedo and Kat Astrophe of Nocedo Photo Media Group. This is only a few of their shots and in a much lower quality than what they have. You can find more of their parade and Saturday photos on Facebook or all of their photos in their Flikr Album. If you check out their sites you can get the full resolution high-quality shots. If you are looking for group photos be sure to check them out, as there are a LOT of groups that shot at the various group locations.
As always if you ID your photo, we will tag it for you.
