Hi Amy, I totally get it! Most people I know from outside Brixton came in Ubers, which seemed to work well for everyone. Some people did drive and just parked on the street outside the parade route, but I get that not everyone is comfortable doing that.

I have two small kids and I know they would have LOVED this, but if one doesn’t live in Brixton and doesn’t have a friends house to park at, where would you say would be the best place to park? Such a boring question but I will NOT miss out on this next year!!!:):) thanks for the write up and the pics xxx

I knew you would be the person to comment on the Lite Brite. Go Gen-X!

Love the map of the watershed line and the tags of the types of people to be found in each area – “Rich and very rich white residents”.

Nice. The ship puppeteering looked so cool. And I do like the fact that there was no alcohol–very family friendly. But my favorite thing to see was probably, “Light Brite, making things with light/ Oh what a sight, making things with Lite Brite!”

The most creative city in the world, for sure.

The creativity and energy is unparalleled! Thank you for sharing (and going)
