The streets were filled with spectators enjoying and experiencing the Shadow Dancers (Dunkelfolket), the Bell Men, the Carrus Navalis boat, The Sun Carriage, the plough and the farmer, all all the other symbols represented in the parade, along with Poco Loco and the Aalborg Kanonlaug (canon guild).
