Fun footage of a parade, possibly several, down Fillmore Street. What makes this footage interesting, is, along with the standard marching bands (narrowly missing the cable cars (hey, they're on a schedule) is the floats. Various smaller (and therefore charming) garishly decorated floats are shown. Unfortunately, most whiz by in an angle making it difficult to read what they represent. I did love the "Our Lady Nicotine" float that caught my eye. Reccomended!
