Getting giggy with Giglio
So we went to this amazing festival this weekend in our beloved Williamsburg. The Dance of the Giglio (not the official name, but what I call it) takes place every year all over the world. I could go on, but really the coolest and most astounding thing is when dozens of Italian men lift this 4 ton 3 story high structure in the air with a 16 piece orchestra on it and freaking dance and parade around with it! (carefully and slowly mind you). All with some wonderful older italian men MCing and singing songs and giving the men holding it their orders. It is a site to see. We didn't have our camera so here's some photos I borrowed from others on flickr.
