Indian Summer Festival

Last Saturday we went to the Indian Summer Festival held on the Summer Fest grounds downtown.
There were hundreds and hundreds dancing. It was really neat to watch.
A and O were mesmerized.
She was really excited about the little kids who were dancing.
Here are some other groups singing.
It was all very fun to watch and listen to.
These flyers were also there. We saw a similar performance when we were in Mexico 3 years ago.
That pole is 30 feet high!
Like the other festivals we've attended downtown, there were plenty of vendors selling alcohol. But unlike the others, you were not permitted to carry any alcohol into or around the main area holding the ceremonial dancing. There were barricades at the entrances to these places with officials checking your belongings. The signage asked that attendees honor the sacredness of these ceremonies.
We had some tired kiddos on the way home, but I'm glad we were able to go down and see it all. It reminded me of the events my sis and I would go to when we were younger.
