Whitby Goth Weekend, April 2025 street video

What I like about this video is that it shows not only people dressed up (goths, historical costumers, cosplayers, etc) but also the swarms of photographers surrounding them and the hordes of tourists -- to be fair, it is a tourist town. So it gives you more of a feel of what it's like to be there, for better or for worse. The Whitby Goth Weekend technically refers to a series of concerts, but this video focuses on the people walking around the street one day that weekend.

FUN FACT: Whitby is apparently mentioned in Dracula and recall that there's a Dracula Readthrough going on in !vampires@lemmy.zip. @Zagorath@aussie.zone is posting a section at a time as it occurs on the calendar (because it's an epistolary novel, mostly letters and diary entries, and it all happens in the space of a couple months, see?) Anyway there's a bit of a lull so now's the perfect time to catch up so if you've ever wanted to read Dracula, you can read it here.
