City Festival


 We were on a walk a few weekends ago and happened upon the city festival.  Many years ago we would enjoy the Saturday morning parades and enjoy the shopping and food offerings later in the afternoon.  The skies were clear although there was an air quality warning at the time due to wildfires in Western Canada drifting over us.  The air quality had improved to fair but I think my throat felt scratchy when I got back home just saying.

It's nice to have a street festival like this and I can imagine that because of the fire in Canada, something even came over here!

It's a shame the wildfire haze lingered, but it’s heartening to see familiar traditions still carrying a spark of joy through the years

Sounds like a lovely surprise to stumble upon the city festival during your walk! It’s great to hear the skies were clear, even if the air quality wasn’t perfect. Those kinds of festivals bring back such nostalgic memories parades, local food, and just soaking in the community vibe.

The wildfires have really lingered this year and I think many of us are feeling the air quality even here in the midlands. Nice blue sky!

We enjoyed our farmer's market this weekend. Although, you might not find that many vegetables but lots of other things. I did get microgreens and now I am inspired to grow my own. Yes, the air quality has made us want to stay indoors a lot here, too. Thanks for the photo. I am glad the air is getting better there.

The pollution is sad, but I’m glad it isn’t even worse. I hope it clears up soon.

Sorry about that Christine. That sounds very uncomfortable. I hope the fires can be contained quickly.

That would be a fun event for kiddos. The fires seem like they're never gonna end. So very sad.
