Places: Folk Life 2011

This weekend is the annual Northwest Folk Life Festival held at Seattle Center. Kevin and I met up with our friend, Derrick, to check it out yesterday. It was great! The Folk Life Festival is a chance for the community to celebrate folk, ethnic and traditional culture.

They have music, dancing, crafts and lots and lots of food from all different cultures.
We ate Kenyan sambusa, Southern peach cobbler and strawberry lemonade.
They had some arts and crafts too. Here's some vinyl artwork by Manticore Stencil Art.
I'll take a Nimbus 2000, please.
There were tons of performances too.
There were so many good performers and we especially liked the Capoeira demonstration.
I'm so glad we got a chance to go, it was so fun!
