A little rain couldn't stop Bangor's third annual West Market Festival this past weekend. People of all ages gathered downtown for a day of music, comedy, and fashion -- not to mention puddle jumping.
Music was the biggest attraction with six different acts taking the stage. The Sophomore Beat pumped up the crowd early in the day with an upbeat groove you could dance to. Sam and Yuri also performed featuring strong harmonies and a comforting acoustic sound.
The Goodnight Process blew the crowd away with their power pop tunes and witty stage banter. (FYI - lead singer, Dean Ford, was a vegan for 5 years until he had a sausage at this year's festival!)
Sennyo kept the show going during band set-ups, dancing with hula hoops and Buugeng - a handcrafted magnetized wooden visual performance tool shaped like an "S".
Improv comedy group The Focus Group performed at the festival, doing their best to keep it a family friendly show. Acts included sports broadcaster auditions for Fenway Park, rock star personas, and sounding off on the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
All eyes were on the runway during the retail and designer fashion shows.
Bella Luna and Main Street Alternative presented provocative and exciting apparel, using dramatic colors and eccentric styles. The designer show featured the works of Sophronia Design, Jessi Sader of FX Dressed, and Michael Shyka.Check out our facebook page to see more of Mindy's photos.
