The Adams Ave Street Fair
Sep. 24th, 2011 04:42 pmI look forward to the Adams Ave Street Fair every year. By my house, there are two big street festivals a year, the Adams Ave Roots Festival, which marks the unofficial start of summer and the Adams Ave Street Fair, which marks the unofficial end to summer.
There are booths to buy perfume and jewelry, tons of booths selling food and few stages for bands. The quality of music is sometimes questionable (We saw a band that was two middle-ages couples. Three of them play ukelele and one played bass. Bad.) but there's a lot of it. I think it's 6 official stages, and a few unofficial ones.
Best of all is the people watching. You get the whole mix, from cool kids to uncool people, from attractive people to people that should not leave the house. And sometimes, if you wish hard enough, you get complete freaks. Like this guy.
It was really sunny, so we didn't stay very long. We plan on walking back tonight after the sun goes down. Should be fun!
We talked to a guy briefly, while we sat down in the shade. He said he was thinking about moving to this neighborhood. "It has something...um...like, funk..."
"Personality." I said
"Yeah, personality!"
