Art in the Square meets PorchRokr
Art and Music Festival
Saturday, October 12, 2013

No amount of exclamatory punctuation would be sufficient in describing the latest version of Art in the Square in the Highland Square neighborhood of Akron, Ohio. Organizers combined the original art festival with the amazingly successful PorchRokr event from early June to present an art and music festival like no other . . . and the weather cooperated!

Because my house is right in the midst of the footprint I saved all the transport effort and set up in my driveway. Bands and musicians were everywhere, or so it seemed. There was a marvelous vibe in the air and an estimated 6000 delighted visitors. No wonder the Highland Square website address is ilovethesquare.com!

Photos are available on Facebook and here, too. Here are a few of mine:

Thanks to all who helped make this day happen – with special appreciation and congratulations on a phenomenal job to Anita, Mark and Ron. Wow!
