Historic Huffman

It is Cityfolk Festival time once again. This downtown event presents top international acts on multiple stages at Riverscape Metropark. This year, the park has a large new semi-permanent tent-like structure to accommodate one of the stages. It was part of an addition which included a bicycle hub building which is designed to make commuting to the city easier by bike.

We rode our bikes to the festival. Though, the ride was far too short to have any need for the bike hub. Once there, we caught parts of two excellent musical acts and shared some falafel. Check out the pics and video.

As with any downtown event, the place was filled with energy. We’re hopeful this festival will continue for years to come. The Cityfolk organization is struggling to find sponsors now that some of our larger corporations have left town. This may be the last free Cityfolk festival for awhile. I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that an admission fee could be charged for such quality entertainment.

We’re keeping our fingers crossed for Cityfolk. Not only because it is a fantastic organization and knows how to put on a spectacular show, but because it’s commitment to downtown greatly benefits Huffman and all the other neighboring historic districts.
