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.
Scary and sad with the fires...
ReplyDeleteThe sky looks so blue and clear...
ReplyDeleteIt'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
ReplyDeleteSounds 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!
ReplyDeleteWe 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.
ReplyDeleteThat is, difficult conditions for a city festival
ReplyDeleteHope the wildfire situation improves.
ReplyDeleteI hope the air s better now.
ReplyDeleteIt still likes it was a beautiful day for a walk. :)
ReplyDeleteBesides the smoke-looks lovely there
ReplyDeleteI like festival season!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue sky.
ReplyDeleteThe pollution is sad, but I’m glad it isn’t even worse. I hope it clears up soon.
ReplyDeleteStreet festivals can be lots of fun. Hope your throat is feeling better, Christine.
ReplyDeleteWildfire haze can linger, hope the air quality improves soon.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan

ReplyDeleteCuidate mucho y disfruta del festival. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteGlad you went to the festival, but hate hearing about the wildfires and their effects. Hope your throat is all better.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that Christine. That sounds very uncomfortable. I hope the fires can be contained quickly.
ReplyDeleteKids love these events!
ReplyDeleteThat would be a fun event for kiddos. The fires seem like they're never gonna end. So very sad.
