Our 1890s buildings and crafts booths down the center of 11th Street make for great ambience and fun.

The rock bands are a mainstay each year, playing from a stage on McKenzie Avenue. They play all afternoon.

Down on the ground, it was a great day for people watching. This shows 11th Street, which is packed with crafts booths each year.

We gotta show you this. The park and ride shuttle bus from the W Wash University parking lots. A 5 minute ride to the festival. Plan to use them next year - and avoid a long uphill walk back to your car.

Great food, rock bands on stage, beer garden, crafts booths for two solid city blocks - and great weather. This looks over the heart of the food vendors and beer garden. Wow.

They streamed up Harris Avenue and into Historic Fairhaven this afternoon. Over 30,000 came for the Ski to Sea race and, well, It All Ends in Fairhaven.

They were dancing on the Village Green. A caller was talking them through this dance with live music from the stage.

Gordy Tweit and friends. Each year we include a photo of our historian for Fairhaven - and photographer of all our events

The Village Green, with the symphony playing. This is two city blocks from the rock band stage and provides a great choice for everyone at the festival.

Back at Harris and 11th, the heart of old Fairhaven, with the warm afternoon just adding to the ambience.

Besides crafts, there were booths for newspapers - such as the Whatcom Independent above - and for real estate, massage, and othe services. A true festival with lots happening.

Payton was juggling on 11th Street - and he had a very intent audience. This guy was really good - crossing his arms and tossing them high - all sorts of variations.

Street performers love the festival each year. If you are one, or a busker, check back with the festival committee for next year. These guys, above? They are with the Dream Science Circus performing on Harris Avenue.

Back on the Village Green, the Squalicum High School Symphony put on a very lively presentation - playing for encores. Hard to believe they were high schoolers their music was so good.
