Cathedral Arts Festival....

This Saturday, Kendal, the kids and I all went to the Cathedral Arts Festival. We go every year, and love it.....
It is a great place to just sit and watch all the people.....and there are ALWAYS some pretty interesting people in that part of Regina.....not to mention....HELLO!!!!! It's an ART festival people....so you are going to get some interesting characters....
Not to mention the diversity of dance, entertainment, theater, art and buskers...
The festival runs from 10 am to 5pm every year, and they close off a good portion of 13th ave for it.
It was probably the nicest weather we have had for the festival since I can remember....It was about 23 degrees and breezy- never too hot or too cold. (Last year it poured rain, the year before that it was cold, and the year before that way too hot...) I can not BELIEVE how many people turned up for it though. It seemed to me to be the biggest arts festival Regina has seen for a long time. There were actually far too many people, and cars were parked for blocks and blocks....and no parking. We however were fortunate, and were able to get parking right by the blockade...no walking. There were also more booths then normal too....For the first time, Kendal and I actually didn't get to see everything...
We stayed and listened to this band play for a while. They were pretty good for country...(I am not a fan) PLUS the lead guy had a guitar like my old one which was stolen in the break-in, and so I was interested....This was the Craven Music Festival end...The other end had some rock bands playing, but I wasn't very impressed with the one we heard...He sucked actually.


Enjoying our first few minutes of the festival....My kids managed to catch me with my eyes closed...yet another wonderful pic of me...

Sites and Sounds of Cathedral..


Here are just some of the pictures I took which capture some of the sites you can see at the Cathedral Arts festival.



EVERYBODY comes out to the festival...

Cathedral Clothesline Day!
On Friday, all the residents of the Cathedral District, took part in Cathedral Clothesline day....
The concept was to string up a piece of rope, and decide what items you wanted to use to tell your story, by hanging them on a clothesline.
Tomorrow, I will post some more of our day at the Cathedral Arts festival...Here are some hints for what will be coming up...our fav ice cream place...some video footage of fire jugglers...and the girls met someone famous and had their picture taken with them! Stay tuned......
