A Folk Fest Love Affair

Last night Ivanka and I (along with our 2 younger sisters) got into our hippy best and made our way down to Prince's Island Park for the opening night of Folk Fest. First and foremost, we scanned the food vendors. Everything smelled amazing, and there was so much variety! Ivanka picked up some Jamaican patties, and I got a taco dog. It was just as insane as it sounds. Soon after we spread ourselves out under the trees. The weather was perfect for the evening, and we each took turns exploring the grounds. There was a lot of different vendors, from henna, to Cinder and Sage, to Prairie Fairies (they had adorable little tutus and sparkling wings for children). It was also our first time going to Very Hush Hush, which was such a cool idea! The little shop is set up in and around an old Airstream trailer. We settled in to watch Joel Plaskett, and City and Color. Both were amazing, as was the atmosphere. Everyone was so laid back, lounging on the grass or dancing to the music, laughing and enjoying the sunshine. As Dallas Green mentioned a few times, it was great to be in the presence of so many people together just for the simple love of music!
