A Mystery Parade/Celebration

I was sitting at my desk when I heard the familiar clap of fireworks from the street below. I moseyed on over to the window and here is what I saw:

Check out the mess of traffic on the top. Taiwanese are not the greatest drivers on the planet. It's sort of a every-man-for-himself attitude on the road. Scary, at times.

I managed to capture one the bottle rockets in mid-air. The organizers did a fine job of decorating the buses.

I asked several people in the office and didn't get a definitive answer as to what the occasion was. I am guessing it was in honor of Labor Day, which was the following day.
