It is very atmospheric. The Pumkinmen who perform inthe streets - stiltwalkers and what not - are absolutely brilliant. You can see them all the way down Main Street. One of their favourite tricks was to pinch the hats off people's heads as they went down the street and of course because they were so much higher than everyone else you didn't have a chance of getting the hat back until they were ready to return it.
Someone had told me that if you wore orange you were fairly safe from being jumped on by them - I think they must have been lying!
Some of the parade floats might have been a bit scarey for little ones although they were absolutely fabulous, I thought
