“…everyone dresses up in Victorian era clothing and there’s like a little march to the town…”

Have you ever been to a parade? Such a change of pace there. Have you ever been in a parade? What was the parade for? Does your Town do a New Year’s parade? I was in a parade in third grade. I live in Northville, Michigan and this town does this thing called The Victorian Festival because we have some historic houses built in the Victorian era, and for some reason that is like noteworthy enough to hold parades and festivals for. So it’s like a weekend-long thing, and everyone dresses up in Victorian era like clothing and there’s like a little like march through the town. And the kicker is that in third grade you’re required to participate in this parade, and you are also required to dress like a Victorian child. So — there’s like basically, like a communal closet, that just like people will borrow kid Victorian clothes from other people, because nobody knows — like where like — where do you buy that, right? But like I wore the same dress that my sisters both wore. I wore the same dress that my neighbor wore. I wore the same dress that like the girl down the street wore. Like it’s like the most ridiculous tradition ever. But yeah, it’s — it’s definitely an experience to see, a sight to see a bunch of third-graders running around in that clothing.
