Mexican street fair, 14th st

Many people followed this kid around. So cute, so nonchalant in his getup.

 

Really bizarre street festival, wish I knew what it meant. Involved a never-ending dance around a circle, some people dressed in flashy costumes with ruddy-cheeked masks and feathers, some as wolves, some in luchador masks without the matching leotards. Further was a portion where people alternately whipped each other (willingly, even children bent over to get lightly whipped by their parents) and set off firecrackers hidden on their bodies.
