Night photograph of a large outdoor procession and celebration. A dense crowd fills the foreground, with many people raising hands and holding phones. Several tall, ornate parasols in yellow, orange and blue with beaded fringes are held up above the crowd. Performers in elaborate headdresses adorned with red flowers, feathers and beads stand among the people, and a figure in the centre raises a silver trident. Bright stage lights glow blue and white in the background, while fireworks burst in the dark sky above and smoke drifts through the scene. A large crowd is visible, well over one hundred people.
