Riverside Arts Market - Pics and Vid

We made it out to the new Riverside Arts Market this past Saturday and had a fantastic time. The turnout was absolutely amazing and we can totally say that the grand opening was a great success.

We started out with a bike ride through Riverside and then stopped in to check out the art booths, produce market, and live entertainment. After taking in all the sights and networking with readers through the crowd, the JC staff hoofed it over to The Landing for a light lunch and re-watering, then walked back to the Arts Market to stroll down the last two isles and nab our bikes. We'd like to give a shout-out to BikeJax for offering free bike valet, we noticed that tons of people partook of the service. Check out a few snapshots we took and a video from gkneefl on YouTube.

I agree, more art,more produce, beer would be great, and I am sure this will not be popular, but I could do without all the dogs....dogs are fine but their inattentive owners that trip people with their leashes and dogs the size of horses are a pain....

The dumb drum circle needs to be 86'd. Of course, if there was a beer tent, I probably wouldn't care so much.
