Our neighbourhood had their annual Cathedral Village Arts Festival last week and weekend. The weather on the weekend warmed up just in time for most of the outdoor events. We weren't sure what to expect having never been before but we had a really good time. Friday night we headed over to a park just off of 13th here where they had a drum circle, apuppet parade and a belly dancer. Caden was just having a blast. There were kids everywhere and just a really festive atmosphere.
On saturday they had some dancers on the stage at the same park and then we visited the street fair which was down much of 13th street. I was especially impressed with all the kids that performed at the dances. We watched Irish dance. The cutest thing to see and then there was caribbean dancing. I wish I had an ounce of the rhythm those kids had! Wow. At the street fair there were tonnes of vendors with items to buy and items to eat. There were performers all over as well. That included kids playing the violin or clarinet and breakdancers and jugglers. It was quite interesting and very crowded. We ate lunch just off the sidewalk while listening to some music from the craven country jamboree stage.
Much to my surprise I'm starting to enjoy Regina. This city really does have stuff to do and stuff going on. I'm having fun! Too bad it wasn't summer all year round though. In september is the Canadian Country Music Awards which will bring lots of fun little concerts and events around too. Mosaic is this coming weekend. Maybe I'll get to take in a bit of it. We'll see.
