Photo of the Day: Art on the Avenue
Rain, chilly temperatures don't keep festival-goers away.
Despite rain and a chill in the air, the 16th annual Art on the Avenue festival went off on Saturday along Mt. Vernon Avenue through the heart of Del Ray.
While the elements did slightly complicate things for organizers, performers, vendors and the approximately 350 artists and craftspeople displaying and selling their work, the day was still a cheery one that boasted a surprisingly strong crowd.
"I'm amazed at the turnout," chief organizer Pat Miller said, adding that Saturday's Art on the Avenue was the first one ever to be severely impacted by rain.
