Deep Ellum Arts Festival Underway

So cute!
This year, the annual Deep Ellum Arts Festival fell on Easter Weekend. It traditionally runs Fri evening, all day Saturday until late and the Sunday until early evening. Saturday, this year, was by far the best weather day of all. Easter Sunday, it rained and was gloomy and cold.

As usual, the festival is fun. The food is great. The entertainment is always traditionally Deep Ellum! The street performers were exceptionally hot (the sax player was jammin') and was quiet the show with one crowd watcher and a young lady really getting down to his music,especially. It was an awesome performance. One of the best that I have seen in years.

Then, there were the dogs that stole the day as well. I love Deep Ellum and the eclectic air. While Deep Ellum has been around for 100 years or more and people like Blind Lemon  were real, Deep Ellum is in a sort of revival and I like to see that. New Orleans is New Orleans. Beale Street is Memphis, Chicago and Detroit had their own as well, but Deep Ellum is Dallas and is growing new sounds all the time.
As some still say, "this is old-fashioned, cuttin' the rug."
