Cutting Loose

Revelers in costumes both playful and macabre kick off the Christmas season with the Myths and Legends Parade. One young man, dressed as a rebel, throws up his hands pretending to be shot. Whether attending a celebration or a protest, locals tend toward the theatrical, donning outrageous outfits, painting their faces, or walking on stilts. This holiday parade was started in 1974 as part of a civic effort to project a positive image of the city. The initiative, backed by the local tourism industry, is an effort at a public relations makeover for a place whose chronic unrest has made many potential visitors stay away.
