Nearing the End of the Day on Car Free Sunday



Lots going on: music, food, entertainment but I didn't get to most of it. Day was sunny until dusk then clouded over.

Join others for (nearly) Wordless Wednesday here.

      The idea is certainly growing in popularity. What I like about it besides environmental benefits, is that it seems to bring the community together.

    What fun! That second photo looks a lot like our downtown when the streets are closed.

    Hello Joyful,
    What a delightful event!! I feel a merry atmosphere there very well. Where is a young lady in a red tutu going?
    Have a great day!

    Thanks everyone1 I'm glad you all enjoyed the concept. Since Car Free Day is an international event, I recommend you check out whether you have such a day in your city or town.

      Thank you, Brenda. There was such an air of joy during that day. People were happy to have an even to walk through, hear music, eat and browse at tables selling things.
