Fairs and Festivals

I love markets, festivals and fairs!
Wherever we go, if we find a festival... we are there! to enjoy the sights, the smells, the tastes and the culture!

I loved the Grant 42nd Seafood festival in Grant FL on March

And St. Patrick's Day Parade In Hollywood FL on March 11, 2018

As well as the second Thursdays music and art in Old Naples or the Motorcycles Rally in Panama City Beach FL about a week ago.

 

And the best one was the Gulf Coast Air Balloon Festival in Foley Alabama, last weekend.
On Saturday we found out about it, we went there in the evening and watched how those giants come to life! A huge field was covered with giant balloons, in all colors. You see them starting to rise up, you hear the roar of the burners heating the air inside causing them to proudly seek the sky.
Arik said to me... This primitive technology is amazing!

The next morning we went back to see the competition. They had to calculate the wind and route and drop an "egg" on a target. They came from many directions, but only two dropped the "eggs" on the field, missing the target by few meters. All the others flew far away...

 

We saw many more fairs and festivals... These are just some examples.
