How often do you get to see two parades in one week? The bagpipers were from Whitehorse. They participated in the Canada Day parade and then came down to Skagway for their parade. In addition to the parade, they had entertainment on the main street with music and games for the children and a number of food booths. They had to wait until about 11:30 for it to get dark enough for fireworks. They set them off from a tugboat in the harbor and from the end of a pier. Two of the cruise ships left the dock but remained in the harbor for the fireworks. They really had an outstanding display. Skagway is a real tourist town. There were 4 cruise ships there the first three days we were there and 5 the day we left.
