Festival
A panoramic movie showing the festival site.  The festival was held
mostly in a church's parking lot, complete with basketball hoops. 
(Technically the festival extended inside the church as well, but there
wasn't really any stuff indoors.)  Near the end of the movie, keep an
eye out for the grooving bartender.   If you watch the movie with
sound, you can hear the music that played most of the time I was at the
festival.  (I didn't stay for many of the live musical groups.)

Food
No Picture Associated With These Comments
Turon, a Filipino dessert made from taking a banana (or plantain) and a
jackfruit and deep-frying them.
A good, pungent dish of garlic chicken which I brought home for dinner.
 One of the reasons I bought it was because the woman selling them
seemed so sad she made so many and they weren't moving.
A purple yam for dessert.  Good.  It had a chewy texture like sticky
rice and a nice yam flavor.  The label says:

STM & JMJ Bake Shop
A Little taste of HEAVEN!

I guess I like Filipino desserts.
I had a chicken shwarma wrap which I forgot to photograph. It was decent. As I ate it, I kept thinking how the person who made my wrap didn't do as good a job as other people at the booth making wraps.
  • Mine had one pile of chicken; it wasn't evenly distributed.
  • The food was a bulk in the center of the lavash, meaning I had multiple bites at each end without anything.
  • The other preparers grilled the shwarma after rolling it; mine did not.
I noticed all these things as she was making my shwarma, but who am I tell her you're making it poorly? The guy behind me in line left while she made my shwarma.
Although it turned out well enough, my complaints were still justified.
