A Place of Enchantment?

 Observe the photo. The combination of masks and attire strongly suggests St Patrick's Day 2021.

See the man near the front, wearing a black T-shirt and performing a facepalm. Then the woman second to the right from him, with two necklaces or cords around her neck and a white sweater over a green shirt. Then, further to the right and further away from the camera, a woman wearing blue jeans and a black jacket. And finally, just to her left and further away, a tall thin man with his mask pulled down from his face, looking in the direction of the camera, with tattoos on his left arm, wearing a black-and-white cap. 

!!?? Huh?! Do you see it too?! 

Those four people have four of the five wrists I can see in this picture, and on each wrist is a watch!

Actually, actually -- hold the phone -- if we go back behind the tall guy with the black-and-white cap and tats, behind him and to the right, there's a couple, a woman wearing a black top and blue jeans and a man wearing a green sweatshirt or long-sleeved T-shirt and black pants. The woman is holding a white shopping bad and they're both looking down at it. Looks like the man might have a watch on his left wrist and the woman a watch on her right wrist -- a lefty, maybe.

What IS this wonderful place, a St Patrick's Day 2021 horological convention? (Horology is things related to time and timekeeping and especially to watches.)

Maybe it's just a bunch of yuppies wearing Apple Watches. I wouldn't find that interesting at all. I don't get out much.
