Vegetarian Festival Today

A friend and I went to the Vegetarian Festival in Bryan Park today. It was fun. There were lots of people, and I think there were more booths and food vendors than in years past.






The music was also better than in the past.


Not sure if this is a clarinet or a soprano sax -- I liked the sound.


The only real suggestion I would have for the festival organizers is that they need to send someone from Parks and Recreation in before hand to get the poison ivy off the trees!!

Oh, I so wanted to go but MM did not wake up quick enough. It looked like so much fun. I hope you did not get rained upon...

Thanks for posting pics and YT vid. :)

We stayed several hours, but we left before any of the raindrops hit.

Oh, I hate that I missed this! It sneaks up on me every year and I have yet to go. I guess I'll have to try for next year.

Other suggestions...

I agree the music was much better this year, but have a couple of suggestions.

Organizers might want to consider ways to improve the traffic issue:
1. Encourage carpooling or biking.
2. Work with Parks & Rec on a special road route that day so that the same road is not being used for people going in AND coming out.
3. Work with GRTC on a Park/Shuttle situation.

They might also want to discourage vendors from giving people drinks in crappy plastic cups.


And they should probably nix the Styrofoam plates, lol!
