Summer is officialy in full swing, the temperature has reached 90 degress, the gnats are out, and nothing could be better. Too add another summer indicator, Iowa city hosted the Art Festival downtown this weekend. The streets were blocked off, the tents were popped up, and bands were rocking out all day. Nothing like some sweet summer music in the sunshine.
This marks the beginning to Iowa City's Summer of the Arts. Alongside this the Jazz Festival, Friday Night Concert Series, Sand in the City, Free Movie Saturdays, and Downtown Saturday will be blocking off the streets once more. A sure fire way to spend the summer right.
It is always a fun thing to dance in the streets in the city. It is a real chance to feel the city breathing with local life as the long-term residents come out to play. Iowa City is not just a university town. It has remnants of small town Iowa such as good food and friendly faces.
City festivals, such as the Arts Festival, gives people the excuse to relax and enjoy eachother's company without having to worry about getting from one place to another. Without having to worry about red-lights or traffic jams. And if you lucky enough, you know someone with access to a roof....
Over and Out,
