Approximately
100,000 people defied the rainy weather on December 11 to enjoy Panama
City's Christmas parade. More than 20 marching bands and dozens of
floats, choirs, elves, clowns and Santas of all sizes took part in
the event, the guests of honor of which were thousands of honor roll
students of underprivileged extraction, many brought in from the interior
provinces in bus loads, and lodged by local families.
Panama
City’s Christmas parade is a decade-old institution... a colorful,
tropical fiesta where people of all ages and backgrounds intermingle
for good-quality family entertainment.
