Ed. Note: While I have no doubt that “seat fillers” is a real thing, I thought for sure this listing was fake/satire. But it’s still live so I’m wondering if it’s actually real? $1000 seems like a crazy amount for a seat filler. If it’s fake though, wouldn’t it have been removed by now? Is this thing real or fake?

From MPD:
“Increased local security measures will be in place in the days leading up to, during, and immediately following the Army’s 250th Birthday Parade on June 14, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
The Army’s 250th Birthday Parade is designated a National Special Security Event by the Department of Homeland Security, a designation that is based in part on the event’s significance, size and attendees. Designating an event an NSSE allows for significant resources from the federal government, as well as state and local partners, to be used to ensure a robust security plan is in place.
This page will provide public safety information, road closures, and restrictions related to this event.
For information about the US Army’s 250th celebration, please visit their website.

This year the street was more closed off than last year but after a while the barricades were crossed.
I’m not sure what part of the caribbean these folks were representing:
Lot of amazing costumes of course:
Lots more after the jump. (more…)
