Summer Festivals

Food fests, art fests, music fests…whatever the fest they’re on my families to do list. Our city hosts the second largest food festival in the country. Over 60 restaurants serve up their specialty dishes to thousands of hungry patrons. Our arts festival began in 1958 and has grown and thrived over the past 50 years. It’s set in a lovely part of town where over 400 exhibitors show their art. At this festival, it’s as much fun to watch the people, as it is to look at the art. The ethnic fests are a great place to get a taste of the culture. My favorite is the Italian festival. The streets are lined with vendors selling everything from cannoli to sausage with peppers and onions, yum. My daughters love to go down to the art museum on Sundays to enjoy the outdoor jazz festival. We find a shady spot, set up the chairs, pop open the picnic basket and kick back, relax and enjoy the music.
