We had to zig-zag through the construction, and the maze of streets that were still open, but we got there. This is a picture of the street fair from the parking garage, and it looks like there are thousands of people already there at 10:30AM.
A street view, and the general traffic pattern is that the right side travels up, and the other side travels back. Sometimes the crowd would open up and walking would be easy for a bit, and every one had their own pace, and would stop and look at a booth, and drop out of the traffic flow for a few minutes.
Food vendors, were on the side streets, and some had a very elaborate display. The BBQ booth was giving out samples early in the morning, and by lunch time the line grew to almost 100 yards long. We really wanted one of their sandwiches, but the wait was a bit long, we walked another block, and found a smaller food vendor, and we had no wait for a great lunch.
The artists had wonderful and interesting displays, the Robot vendor made his items out of discarded miscellaneous metal parts. The booth with paintings and drawings were largely original works, and priced accordingly.
This yard art booth had a lot of color, and all was interesting.
There were face painting sidewalk vendors, this lady is getting a orange C painted on her cheek. This street musician had just set up and started a song.
This local High School steel drum band was a high energy and big sound group. There must have been 50+ members present, and the stage could only hold 25-30 players at a time. they were very entertaining with the rhythms and dancing in place while they played. We hope to attend the street fair again this spring.
