There is a flamingo festival every July in Southwest Harbor, Maine.

Those pink flamingos are all over the downtown area.

There’s food booths, tables of people selling new and vintage items, a parade, etc.

You can tell when a family of flamingos moves in next door by the plastic mexicans stuck in their lawn.

Wife likes these things. I think we have one that still stands. We’ll have to put it out front for a while.

Years ago Mad Magazine had a cartoon showing gov. agents taking away some family's pink flamingo.....the supposed father of the family is on his knees begging the agents not to take away his prized flamingo.

Even as a kid I thought those things were pretty tacky/kitschy.
