Ulog #31 - Wednesday Walk - Street Festival

This festival was called Cars & Guitars and this giant guitar sculpture was holding center court in the middle of the car show. The sign says the piece is made from "found" materials by artist Brian Watson and donated to the city of Kirkwood.

Further on down the block was a vendor selling the more normal size of guitars and other stringed instruments that were handmade by Clark Folk Instruments. I was surprised at the number of people that I saw walking around with one of these instruments they had purchased.

There were 4 city blocks with cars, trucks, and antiques on display lined up on both sides. The street was packed with people and it was hard to get a clear shot of the automobiles, but I did manage to get several interesting shots. I won't put them all in, but here are a few more.

I love the vivid red color.

And here's a 1965 model for the Mustang lovers out there.

After browsing the cars we were ready to stretch our legs and do some walking. We walked several blocks around the festival area and saw some really beautiful homes and landscaping.

We made it as far as Grant's Trail, but by then it was time to go back to the festival for some good music. We plan to come back and explore the trails just for themselves.

There were four bands playing at the festival. Two stages were set up at each end and two bands played the early set and two more bands played the late set.

This was another one of the bands, called Wildfire. They played some really good music and had the crowd fired up for sure.

The band we wanted to see, and the reason we came to this street festival, is called Retro Boogie. They were the last band so it was dark by the time I got this picture.

And this last photo is a little blurry, but I had to show @crypt-skip getting his groove on. All in all, it was a long but fun day.
