Parade History

about

ParadeHistory.com is a website that explores the world of parades, processions, marches, festivals, and many types of festive events through photo essays, interviews, and fieldwork/research documentation.

Blog of Festive Events section lists posts on the topic. There is a focus on California, though festive events worldwide are included.

Parade Talk section includes ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, observations, photographs, videos, literature, and reflexive writing on this expansive topic of mobile and related stationary festive events. My intention is to eventually focus more on foodways in relation to festive events. I began writing these articles as an editor on H-Celebration (Parade Talk blog) while rehabilitating from a fourth back surgery.

Photographs, Videos, and Writing by Tiff Graham, unless credited to another source.
