Paseo Arts Festival
Every year, I look forward to Memorial Day Weekend because that means its Paseo Arts Festival time in Oklahoma City. The festival opened yesterday at 10 a.m. and by 11 a.m., we were hunting for a parking space four blocks away.
There is a certain authenticity to this event, and the crowd is so different. People — from babies to Baby Boomers — dress for the occasion, and by that I mean they roll out their tie-dyeds and midis.
If you’re in Oklahoma City, the free event runs through Monday. Check it out.

Love this wreath. The artist tied it to a stop sign.
I bet this Generation Xer can do wonders with a hacky sack.
The Outback showed up. But Le is no where to be found.

Love the dress. Love the flower. Love the shades.
Absolutely perfect green hat.
Get your diva on. This little gir’s natural curly hair is gorgeous! I dig her glasses, too.
Just Doo Rag It. ACDC bag optional.
More tie-dye. She’s been face painting at this festival for years.
My favorite artists of the day. I want to hear his stories.
I bet he looks forward to riding his unicycle at the festival all year. Love his spirit. See you at the Paseo Arts Festival!

Great photos, Jen. I love it. We have a great art fest in Salado, but it the people aren’t as eclectic. They do have great art fests in Austin, I just never like looking for parking.
We have the Rose Festival over here. But it usually rains and it’s no fun walking through mud.
Oh, that looks like a lot of fun. I loved all your photos but the one with the salt and pepper shakers is my favorite.
Fantastic images! This makes me homesick!!!! Looks like a beautiful day!
What fun, & what great pix–everything from clowns to kids playing the cello!
Great pics! Paseo is always so interesting.
