tourists. Most venues are an unpredictable wide variety of multi-ethnic,
young children to seniors, where statistics change from neighborhood
to neighborhood.

huge audiences, that will not only watch the event, but, participate,
as well. The flow of continuous pedestrian traffic has the ability to
keep a loud and cheering crowd of thousands throughout the entire day.
