Summer Vacay - Day 37: Inglewood Sunfest

Today we headed up to Calgary to check out the Inglewood Sunfest. In the little research that we did we learned it was a street festival with loads of vendors, a kid zone and street performers. All those things sounded good to us so off we set. It was pretty fun walking down the street checking out all the different vendors. There were lots of neat little specialty shops and abstract art on display along with delicious smelling foods. Just after the first block we ran into our first street performer. He was a magician who spit out cards, farted out balls and liked to use Brayden as his man to do his tricks to. We checked it out for a bit and continued on our way picking up some balloons along the way. One of the specialty shops sold forged Japanese knifes and watched as they shaped the metal for a knife and a few feet away we watched a dance group giving a show to a crowd.

At the end of the block was a little show and shine with Herbie! I love Herbie. It was HOT HOT HOT out and lunch time so we turned around with a mission to get some food in our bellies. We had to stop off to cool down at a couple of spray hoses and that seemed to buy us extra time with the kids so when we made it to the Kids Zone they were ready to play. They got free tattoos, stickers, frisbees and keychains. They played some games and we had to pull them out of the place to get ourselves some food. It was pretty cool, lots to see and enough performers and balloons to keep the kids entertained. I would recommend people to check out the street festival if they haven't before!

  1. Brayd's got the Bob Moffat hairstyle down (and wearin' a killer t-shirt, I might add).

    I forgot the festival was this weekend! Inglewood rocks!
