Purple hair is trending and this man got the message! Here are photos from last weekend's Summer Solstice 2013 event at the Greensboro Arboretum- at Lindley Park off of West Market Street. It was packed this year and the weather turned out to be great. Food trucks were well represented, as were face painters and booths with free spirit clothing: tie dye, fairy wings, belly dancing scarves, unicorn horn & tail sets, and other let-your-hair-down fashions. This intergenerational event allows young and old alike to hula-hoop and flutter their gauze wings together. Even dogs dress for the occasion.
If you missed the event this year, put it on your calendar for next year and start planning your outfit now! We're only supposed to upload photo ONE photo as part of the worldwide, city daily photo group. However, every once in a while, we just can't resist adding a couple more. There is just so much to photograph in Greensboro at all of these great, free events! Ahhhhh.... summer!
You are right, I would have enjoyed the Greensboro Summer Solstice! Those look like my kind of people right down to the Border Collie in a tutu!

It was soooooo much fun! Everyone was on his/her best behavior- including the Border Collie in a tutu!

And there I was thinking Greensboro is all staid and proper like. So glad I'm wrong. This is a hoot.
