A Day at the Park Ave Festival (Rochester, NY)

Street artists creating chalk masterpieces

String musicians playing "Eleanor Rigby". Sweet, right?

My favorite, random clarinet player guy. Rock on!

So today I went to the Park Ave Fest in Rochester, NY with my mom, my brother, and some of my mom's friends. It was basically a big culture festival, with tons of street vendors, performers, and artists. After making our way up and down the seemingly never ending Park Ave, here are some of the highlights, or at least my favorite parts...

• There were a lot of cool street artists, the one pictured above was making a really cool portrait out of chalk! I could have watched for hours.
• The string duet shown to the right was amazing. They had such a rich sound, and were jamming out to Eleanor Rigby and more. 
• There were a ton of standalone performers, like the clarinet player below. He was a pretty cool guy!
• There was so much shopping, my fave was an outdoor thrift shop benefiting the Boys and Girls Club of Rochester! 
• So. Much. Food. 
• More. Food.
• Did I mention the food?

The day was pretty awesome, and if you're ever in town for this annual event, I highly recommend checking it out!
