Salmiya Parade

There was a parade next to my office today. They closed the Salmiya shopping street and everyone was on the street, people were dressed up as cartoon characters, there were people playing music, food stands, balloons everywhere, even had pony and horse rides. It was really fun to walk past all those to get to Subway for lunch, but I did notice the security was high. Probably because of a fear of a terrorist attack.
