“This is great... we get exposed to a bunch of new people, and everybody is really chill and it’s great weather so, how could I complain?” a sculpture artist said.

Traffic is not blocked off for this event, and organizers said there is free parking available.

“It’s beautiful, beautiful weather, we love it here,” a Julington area resident said.
