The Greensboro Summer Solstice Festival was held this past weekend, after having been delayed by a week due to possible bad weather last weekend. While the weather was a bit threatening this past weekend, it rained around Greensboro, but not actually on the festival. The organizers had to scramble and find new vendors and performers because many couldn't reschedule. However, at the end of the day, it was a successful event and those who attended seemed satisfied. To our knowledge, there aren't summer solstice festivals of this caliber in other North Carolina cities. Do you know of any?
We selected the photo of the above four women to share today because they really captured the essence of the festival. It is not just about performers, but also about what the attendees bring to the event. All four came dressed as if they were performing in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." They were having so much fun together. We owe a big thank you to the people who put on the festival, including vendors, performers, and attendees.
Tomorrow's event "Fun Fourth" downtown will also have a dress-up component. You are encouraged to wear your boldest patriotic and red, white, and blue outfits. It is always fun to see what people wear. Of course at least one Uncle Sam will be in attendance. The race starts at 7:30 am and the other events are from 1-6pm. See you there! If someone asks to take your photo, ask "Are you with Greensboro Daily Photo." Indeed, it could be us !
Happy Monday!
A good shot.
