Jack in the Green Parade, May Day Festival Hastings 2016

This is part of the annual Jack-in-the-Green event, held every May in Hastings in East Sussex, England. It's a lively community event that's a blend of music, merry-making, local traditions, great characters, surreal sights, samba... and Morris Dancing.

Hastings puts on a great parade each year and it seems to get better and bigger.
