This post documents my experience on July 16, 2016.
As Willoughby residents got their weekly veggies at the farmer’s market…
…tons of visitors were flocking into the neighboring downtown area…
…for the Willoughby ArtsFest.
Lined along three roads…
…and within an area in the park…
…artists offered everything from porcelain jewelry to leather purses…
…photographs to hand-painted silks…
…shell and bottle wind chimes to copper kinetic sculptures…
…glass works…
…wood decor…
…and some really cool pottery.
The park seemed to be the heart of the festival…
…where a tent raffled artists’ works…
…and the gazebo offered musical entertainment.
But as you further explored the downtown area…
…you could find additional musical performances…
…along with various children’s activities…
…artistic outlets…
…an art show (Willoughby United Methodist)…
…and some things to munch on.
And if you didn’t feel like Greek food…
…hamburgers and hot dogs…
…or an early dessert via pies, cupcakes, nuts and funnel cakes…
…there were plenty of downtown restaurants ready to feed you.
