Submit Your Street Fair Photos

Photo from larger image by JDB99 at http://flickr.com/photos/jdb99/412898230/The street fair this year was fun and I was amazed at the turnout. My daughters and I didn’t arrive until 4 and I forgot to bring my camera so please send any great photos you snapped at the event.

Here’s an idea! Join the Rolando Village group on Flickr and upload your street fair pics or any other cool Rolando photos you would like to share.

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard setting up and making this year’s street fair safe and fun. I’m already looking forward to next year’s 12th Annual Rolando Sreet fair!

Arbol Azul

Arbol Azul performaing at Centro Cultural Tijuana“árbol ázul’s show is truly, a musical journey through Latin America.

Beyond a mere musical/cultural showcase, the extremely high level of their interpretations, the group’s performances reflects a deep commitment to creating a compelling audible experience as they seek and find the magic of Latin American folklore.

This is an experience worth seeing live.”
