PETERSBURG - Adjectives used to describe Sunday s The Sycamore Steet Experience were amazing, wonderful, lively, awesome, positive, and crazy busy.
The block party attracted a steady stream of hundreds of people throughout the day who strolled up and down the street enjoying the diverse array of permanent businesses and their guest vendors, including Old Towne’s River Street Market.
DJ Foot’s steady beat kept things lively. Flautist Iris Schwartz briefly joined the acoustic Bowl’d Sojer Band, and they sounded terrific, together.
I ve captured dogs, chickens, and now goats enjoying Schwartz s performances. She is developing quite a variety of barnyard fans.
Enjoy shopping, eating, listening to music performances, watch art demonstrations, and more at this inaugural event.
