The Cavalcade of Magi is a traditional parade of the Magi. They ride through the streets, as their page boys throw candies to children.

I started looking on line at all the different balloon activities and there are MANY! I had no idea. There is even a World Balloon Convention every year. The sculptures are amazing. However, it seams none of the artists are good at taking videos, so there are none worthy to share here.
If you are interested is seeing some of the balloon art though, I highly recommend you do a computer search for large balloon sculptures. Beware, it is a bit of a time killer though once you start. I ended up looking at videos and pictures for far much more time than I care to admit to.
