A Parade of Disappointment
I have always loved Oktoberfest! I love the rides, the food, the people, but most of all, I love the parade. Before I could even walk I‘ve been watching the Oktoberfest parade. Every year, I anticipated the excitement of the parade. However, I wasn’t really impressed with it this year! One of the main reasons for this is the lack of creativity of the floats. Normally, people try to improve their floats every year for a little friendly competition. This year more of the floats haven’t changed a bit. Where’s the fun in that?! Not to mention the fact that there weren’t as many floats as there usually is. Therefore, the parade was shorter. This disappointed me because, I remember the parade lasting until almost four ‘o clock at night. Those were the good old days! Maybe if the floats weren’t spaced so far apart from each other, the parade would have ended another hour earlier. I also didn’t like how the people riding on the floats seemed less enthusiastic. Usually the people on the floats are always handing out neat stuff or just acting crazy to entertain the crowd. Overall ,in my opinion, the parade was pretty lame. I’m starting to think that the only way the parade would be as fun as it used to be, is if the person watching it was wasted!

I totally agree with you. I have always loved going to the Oktoberfest parade, but this year it just seemed lame. It did seem a lot shorter and none of the floats really stuck out. Usually I always remember a certain float that I liked, but this year there really wasn't any. Well hopefully next year will be better.
