A Hot and Sticky Festival
Decatur Metro | May 26, 2008Don’t worry, I’m just talking about the Decatur Arts Festival. Geez…get your minds out of the gutter!
On both Saturday and Sunday, my wife and I left the confines of our cool, Decatur home to brave the Arts Festival crowds. And boy were there crowds! Now maybe they weren’t Inman Park Festival size mobs, but for what its worth it seemed a lot more crowded this year than last.
Let’s take the food area on Saturday for instance…
Mad house! You can see the untamable desire for gyros on every patron’s face here.
Crowds were also plentiful by the gazebo/stage, where audience members tried to escape the heat under trees and next to the stage itself.
Walking around the other side of the gazebo, we checked out a few of the “Doors of Decatur”, which there were surprisingly few of this year (though I heard one went for over $1k at the auction)
After surveying a wide array of art (some old and some new), we found ourselves back on the Square and perused Worthmore’s Grand Opening.
Free drinks, A/C and lots of cool/funky jewelry obviously drew a crowd!
Hope your day was also filled with lots of art and cool beverages!
