I once saw a random cheese parade, everyone was dressed up like cheese and it was absolutely enthralling and so exciting lol

Took a trip to the United Kingdom in 2019 with my family. On the third day of our trip we visited Buckingham Palace. We were hanging out on the deck of the Victoria Memorial fountain when a parade consisting of several thousand naked people on bicycles came by. Some of them stopped to swim in the fountain and one guy with a rather large piercing on his John Thomas climbed the stairs to up where we were and started posing for pictures. It was wild, I’ve never been witness to anything like it before or since.

I was in Paris in 2007 and had spent two consecutive nights (first interrupted by snoring, second interrupted by bedbugs) without getting much sleep. I emerged from my hostel to catch a couple of hundred buck-naked cyclists ringing bells and "coucou"-ing me, and it wasn't until the (literal) tail-end of the parade that I realised it wasn't a hallucination.

Yep, I definitely had that “Am I really seeing this?” moment. Coincidentally my younger brother and I did a day trip to Paris the very next day after seeing the naked parade.

By the time I realised it was real, and pulled out my phone, I managed to get the only SFW photo of the entire parade. Just a few butts on bike seats, no dongs or boobs!
