• Raya of Last Dragon fame
  • Hermione midway Polyjuice-induced change into cat
  • pink fuzzy donut w/ inner tube + sprinkles and teal parasol-toting Victorian lady in satin; despite the marked contrast in tone and materials, these two costumes looked oddly good together, possibly because of the complementary colors
  • red-and-black goth fairy, about 8 yrs. old, w/ banana dad
  • mellophone-playing pineapple (in parade)
  • twin Jasons drumming (one on quad drums, one on bass) (also in parade)
  • Waldo, which is not unusual, but also Odlaw, which is
  • Batman family taking various approaches: the dad was wearing a sweatshirt and cap, the mom was wearing a proper Batman costume, and the daughter was a Batman princess
  • historically-accurate-so-far-as-that-goes-here St. George, complete with English cross on shield (there's a town named St. George not that far away)
  • Buzz Lightyear w/ samurai sword
  • Harry, Ron, and Hermione (fully-human) all together
  • someone in a homemade earth-tone knitted hood and pumpkin dress
  • Mario, Princess Peach, little Bowser, little Donkey Kong, no Luigi
  • dejected flamingo sitting on sidewalk
  • psychedelic hoodie + orange trousers + plush backpack (= ???)
  • guy in baseball cap, plain gray sweatshirt with Marvel Logo, and plain gray sweatpants with Marvel logo
  • either Captain Spaulding or a member of the ICP
  • several girls in Día de los Muertos costumes, all together
  • skeleton w/ glittery silvery skirt
  • blonde woman in brown corduroy overalls, green knit shirt, and sign pinned to her chest saying "BANANA TREE"?
  • Monty Python King Arthur, complete with coconuts that he continually clip-clopped; this guy won the prize for the night
  • two very little Beatrix Kiddos (like barely old enough to walk) in identical Game of Death jumpsuits
  • unrolled paper towel? The guy was carrying a huge swath of white net-like fabric, partially wrapped around his middle (though not like a mummy), in one hand and a very large & wide tube in the other. His companion was dressed in white and had no fabric but was carrying a similar tube. This was unclear
  • red beret and hoodie printed with "NOT TODAY SATAN"
  • very small Ghostface
  • a couple dressed like what appeared to be two parts of a painting, except that it turned out to be the same painting, and the painting itself was painted to look like an assembled puzzle? Several layers of boredom here
  • a Raggedy Ann in this day and age, whoa
  • a Predator with very yarn-like dreads
  • a terrier mix dressed like a celadon mermaid with some sort of audio device playing "Thriller". They were playing the Eurythmics when I walked by again later
  • tamale
  • Luna Lovegood w/ those glasses that look like hands
  • log: light beige shirt, identical light beige pants, bark tube wrapped around head
  • moose
  • giant inflatable Among Us crew member/impostor (couple walking by: "They're from a video game." "Ohhhhhhhh.")
  • Rocket Raccoon
  • lemon, lime, pineapple, and...Thanksgiving princess (crown of red felt autumn leaves + harvest quilt cape)
  • postal carrier, but I think he was an actual postal carrier; his bag had genuine wear to it
  • angel w/ black wings
  • tired tyrannosaur, sitting in street
  • ram (very, very large horns on knit hat + knit sweater on 6-year-old)
  • Skull Kid from Majora's Mask
  • Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach (all adults, yet carrying treat bags for some reason)
  • 8-year-old female Freddy Krueger
  • female tween Mario and Luigi
  • extremely bored-looking Michael Myers, hands in pockets
  • kid doing the sheet-ghost thing but with a green sheet made of flowy, somewhat-translucent material that looked quite good. I wanted to give a compliment but was afraid it'd be taken as facetious
  • man with no costume but devil horns glued directly onto his shaved head

No man with a tree limb strapped to his back this time.
