I walked down Carroll Ave, passing colorful houses. This guy was outside one house. Kangaroos for Obama, I guess! |
In addition to the kangaroo, Carroll Ave. had lions and tigers and a rhino, Oh My! |
and a beautiful purple house! |
Here's the music schedule. I didn't make it until 2, but the music was great and kept me hopping among 3 stages. |
The Rhodes Tavern Troubadours were at the Willow Dance Stage. Loved them. |
Mark Noone |
Tommy Lepson Band. They never disappoint. |

The Janine Wilson Band played at the Gazebo. I wish I had had more time to stop & listen, but at 4 there was lots to see & do. |

When I saw the conga line for Chopteeth, I thought "this could be fun!" |
I can't believe I've never seen Chopteeth before. They are an "Afrofunk Big Band" and they were mesmerizing! |
Their music appealed to EVERYONE! This is their vocalist, Michael. |
The blazing horn section. I needed some heat on this strangely-cold-for October day! |
Chopteeth really got the crowd dancing |
The youngest person dancing had to dance on the stage to avoid being trampled! |
Joe Uehlein & the Uliners ended the music, just as the light rain came. |

Painted kids! |
Old Town Takoma Park is such a nice, funky area! You never know what you're gonna see. |
I want these boots! |
In addition to music, there were crafts (loved this vendor) and food. |
I was tempted to buy something from this vendor, but I just have TOO MUCH STUFF, so I didn't. |
