Last Sunday was the 2nd annual Haultain and First Street Festival! Filled with fun for all ages, the festival started last year as a celebration of the completion of Haultain Park – a seven year project. Last year was a blast, and this year was no different. Although it is still technically summer, it seems like snow is on the way with this horrible weather, BUT it seems like weather isn’t a factor to dampen people’s spirits.
The fashion shows were the first stop in my tour of the festival. Designs from all over the First Street area were a hit. So many people were crowed by the runways to watch, with cheers for EVERY OUTFIT.
Valetta brought a cool New York street vibe with their tees and pants, and Emogene Couture with Jewellery by Gorgeous went to show some beautiful classic and elegant pieces to glam up the runway.
While the models were taking a very well deserved break, we were not left without entertainment. Local artists started to hit the stage such as JAY and Nick Rodreguiz.
Mac’s Frosters also swung by, giving away free mini slurpees. Not only that, but down at the park Lululemon was giving away some free yoga lessons to ease your stress. Have kids? The playground area was filled with kids having fun with steel drums in the background, giving some sizzle to the classic pop songs.
Seems like fun?! It sure was! To check it out next year, visit www.victoriapark.com and keep yourself posted to local events.
