The 24th Annual Main Street Arts Festival has once again taken over downtown Ft. Worth this weekend. With great food, 3 stages for live music and of course some of the premier art in the country, it always proves to be a blast. The festival is ranked the #3 Fine Arts Festival in the country and spans over 9 blocks downtown.
The streets of downtown are filled with fascinating sights and sounds as more than 500 fine artists, dancers, performance artists, musicians, exhibitors and food vendors take part in the four-day celebration. Two hundred juried artists line the historic red bricks of Main Street weaving a diverse blend of texture and shape down the "magnificent mile" of visual art booths, performance stages and intriguing characters to create an explosion of color against the turn-of-the-century buildings and modern skyscrapers of downtown Fort Worth.
Last night after attending the awards ceremony where Senior Caroline Starns was honored, while waiting for our car we got a chance to see first hand the electric atmosphere-not sure I can describe it, but a great band with a performing group of unicycler's who had random light patterns in their spokes (wish I would have had a camera with me).
