Sidewalk Art Festival 2011

Here are some photos from this year's Sidewalk Art Festival on Congress Street. The event was back on a  beautiful day in late August (the 27th). It seems to get bigger every year and draw more visitors too.

Old Port Festival

Yesterday was the 37th annual Old Port Festival. It almost rained but ended up staying dry, which is always nice. I wasn't there for photographs so I just  got two snapshots, as seen below.

I believe this was a demonstration showing the positive effects of mass transit and was located where a light-rail station is planned.

Here are some pictures from earlier today of the Sidewalk Art Festival, a great event held every summer that stretches from the corner of Free and Temple Streets all the way up to where Park Street meets Congress Street. 7 city blocks of car-free entertainment. From the event's website:

Approximately 300 artists and 40,000 visitors attend this festival. The WCSH 6 Sidewalk Art Festival is the oldest and largest one-day art show in Northern New England.
