Dally in the Alley

Two weeks ago, I went to a festival with my family called Dally in the Alley. I had never been to it and was excited to see what it was all about. This festival was located along the streets of Detroit starting at the North side of Cass and went on for a couple of blocks. It consisted of people selling artwork, records, jewelry, and clothing, as wells as, food stands from nearby restaurants, an outdoor bar, and four different stages. A cool thing about this festival was the music it had. All the people who performed on the different stages were all local musicians and it really felt like you were at an outdoor concert. This festival was located a block from Wayne State University, so there were a ton of college students there hanging out and listening to the music with their friends. The atmosphere at this festival was different than at other festivals because of the energy it had; it had a younger vibe to it. There was loud music playing, some people dancing, some shopping, and some eating or drinking with friends. It seemed like everyone there was having a good time. Unlike other festivals people didn’t just go there to shop, people went there to hangout, listen to music with their friends, and enjoy themselves. I had a great time at this festival and would say even if you don’t like art to just go to listen to the music and experience it, it’s free and a whole lot of fun.
