Jewish Celebration Stamford Hill

Just out of interest - not complaining. Does anybody know what the celebration ( floats, music, fancy dress open-top buses ) was on Upper Clapton Road this afternoon ? I've seen it before in previous years.

The Jewish celebration of Purin comes from the Book of Esther in the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament). It commemorates the failure of a plot to kill all the Jews in Persia about 450BCE (Before the Common Era). Purim means "Lots" or the casting of Lots.
