Enjoy the waning days of summer at the Alberta Street Festival
On Alberta Street, it's not completely unlikely to see a man on a skateboard hula-hooping while being pulled by a dog (seriously, I saw him the other night when I was walking home). So although there is little information out there about what to expect from this year's Alberta Street Fair, it's safe to say it won't be your average experience.
Beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday morning and ending at 6 p.m., the fair will turn Alberta street into one, big party from 11th to 30th Avenue. Vendors that frequent Alberta's Last Thursday celebration will be there, as well as its assortment of wandering stilt-people, live bands and clowns on fixies.
The street's growing clusters of food carts, such as the Grilled Cheese Grill, Spud Locker (a baked potato bar), and Homegrown Smoker's vegan barbecue will be ready to feed the hungered masses. Boutiques along the street will be open for business, including my favorite drool-inducing dress shop, Mabel and Zora, who will be having a trunk sale at their shop near Alberta and 15th Avenue.
You only have one weekend of summer left; fall begins on September 22 and I've already started to see changing leaves. So get out there and enjoy this last bit of summer fun.
