Describe an enjoyable public event that you went to

You should say:

• what the event was
• when you went there
• who you went there with

and explain why you enjoyed this event.

I visited New York City with my family in 2009 and joined the city’s annual HalloweenParade down the 6th Avenue.   It was quite a spectacle. People got all gussied up for the spookiest of the holidays.  In fact, there were two ways one can enjoy the event, either as a participant or as an onlooker.  If you dressed up in a costume, you can participate in the parade and march down the route.  Unfortunately, I didn’t have any costume, I could only watch. As an onlooker, I stood among the packed crowd behind the policebarricades. Some eager fellow on-lookers climbed up trees for a better view. A few even jumped over the barricades when the police turned round. Creepy ghouls and giantpuppets were marching down the street and everyone was cheering.  It was so fun and we enjoyed a great deal.  Looking back, among all other public events that I went to, this one left the deepest impression.  I think the reasons are two folds.  One, we did not have this kind of festivity here in China. It felt so strange
