Potential information: This information may serve as clues to help identify the era of the photo, the people in the photo, the place where the photo was taken, or even the photo studio where it was developed. It also may not serve those purposes. The first, and often biggest, clue we have is the box number. A search for that box number will turn up all the items that where found together, which will often lead to connections we couldn't make with just one item. If you have anything you'd like to add, you can do so in the Comments.

Surroundings: On the left (viewer's left) there's a palm tree. This looks like a parade float, vaguely resembling a ship, with a re-enactment taking place. The man in the center appears to be wearing a conquistador's helmet, similar to http://www.kidscostumesandmore.com/images/costumes/spanish-conquistadors... and holding an unidentified flag. Others appear to be wearing 15th and 16th century garb. There appears to be a crowd "across the street" from the photographer, but there are no buildings anywhere in sight, giving the impression of a beach or desert road. Across the front of the float, there are words that are hard to read. It looks like "C??billos...." The entire photo is blurry and there are no identifiable individuals in it.

The photo itself: Marked "Kodak / Velox / Paper" Based on the info on this page -> http://www.cycleback.com/photoguide/stamps.html the photo may be circa 1950s-60s.
