Uptown Afternoon

Every third weekend in August, Main St in Vancouver closes for the Uptown Village Street Festival. Being as this is only a couple blocks from my house, it makes for a grand bit of entertainment.





I spent a lovely afternoon wandering among the vendors, talking to people in various info booths, listening to the African All-Stars, eating BBQ, and admiring that street festival staple known as chalk art.





Tomorrow they will have a Classic Harley and Scooter ride.. It's so "Northwest" to have Harley-Davidsons and Vespas riding side by side in the same parade.. Gotta love this place..
