My street is crazy

I dont know how to describe what I just saw on my street. I live on a one way side street and tonight I heard something weird out there so I ventured out upon the balcony and down below were hundreds of people walking down the street, shoulder to shoulder holding candles and chanting. A cop car led the procession so I assume it was legit. There front part of the 'parade' involved people garbed in white robes who were more spaced out then the followers. There were two bullhorn callers chanting out what I took to be prayers. There were enough people to warrant two of these. The whole thing took up about 10 minutes and it was gone, no sign of its approach and no sign of its departure. It must have been some sort of ethnic religious holiday. I had no tomatoes or water balloons to throw unfortunately.

I want to have parades and chant things. If I could get enough friends together I would make a teddy bear parade and we would chant something like 'my underwear are dirty and your fridge is clean'. Maybe I should just make a cult.
