Several ornate umbrellas with red, orange and yellow canopies edged in mirrored sequins are raised above the crowd.

Strings of green and white lights line the grounds, and a stage with bright blue and pink lighting glows in the background. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly visible among the crowd.
