The High Heel Race in Washington’s Dupont Circle is a spectacle of joy. Taking place the Tuesday before Halloween, the 30-year old tradition has evolved to being as much for families as for anyone looking for a walk on the wild side. It ranks up there with the Funk Parade as an event we enjoy photographing. After a season of taking pictures at events protesting Trump, all joyous but with an undertone of seriousness, this year’s event was pure delight.
