Celebrate Petworth Festival Gallery

I think it's fair to say the Celebrate Petworth Festival was a success today. I arrived late, and it was still very crowded. The vendors I spoke with talked about the great day they were having selling, and kids were having fun with the music and dance area.

Here is a gallery of pictures from today -- congrats to everyone who worked so hard to make this day happen for the benefit of the neighborhood!
