Del Ray’s Arts on the Avenue – It was Picture Perfect!

It was a picture perfect day today at the Arts on the Avenue festival with clear skies and temperatures in the low 70′s.

Mt. Vernon Avenue was jammed with artists selling everything from pottery to  jewelry to original prints and exquisite handbags.

Local food offerings included crab cakes, barbecue, chicken curry, Asian stir fry, fresh lemonade, mac & cheese, tiramisu,  and brats and sauerkraut. Oh, and did I mention the four musical venues?

and  dogs . . .

 

 and babies . . .
