As I Was Going To Strawberry Fair....
Cambridge's "Strawberry Fair" started in 1974 - I know 'cos I woz there! A few local bands played for free, which was the thing to do in those days, after all The Stones had just played Hyde Park. There were a few fire-eaters, jugglers, clowns and tightrope walkers, a guy selling vegetarian food and I suppose there was a bar. And it's still going and it's still free - it's changed a bit and grown a lot, haven't we all.
Take care.

ReplyDeleteTerrific - it's good when 'traditions' begin and continue. I don't see many strawberries though. You were probably wise to photograph that security guy from the back rather than the front!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you captured! It looks like alot of fun, many things to see and do!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for kind comments. I think KarmaSuiticals is just brilliant as a name for a stall selling "hippie gear".
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful vibrant fair! Were there strawberries to be found at "Strawberry Fair"
ReplyDeleteI think people watching would have been the best entertainment of all. And I laughed out loud at Karmasuiticals!
