Weekend Fun

For a little fun and festivity

on Memorial Day Weekend,

there's nothing quite like the excess,

spectacle and humor,

music, 

whether street performers

or scheduled appearances

by groups like this one

(more about them later this week)

dancing to live music with a zydeco group , 

food,

vendors

(there's my reflection as I admire the earrings)

and general frivolity

of the Northwest Folk Life Festival

now in its 40th year.

It's held at the Seattle Center,

home of the iconic Space Needle.
