A bustling street on a summer Saturday morning in downtown Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ serves as inspiration for this week’s photo series.

Vendors selling baked goods, vegetables, jewelry, handcrafted items, and other articles were nestled under canopy tents and next to tables throughout downtown and Tappan Square at the 2nd Saturday in Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ event on July 10. 

2nd Saturdays began last month as a means for visitors, students, and residents to enjoy music, explore downtown stores and businesses, and take part in family friendly games. 2nd Saturdays will take place every month this summer.

July’s theme—Family Fun and Music—invited guests to pick up a scavenger hunt passport and win a prize by finding musical instruments hidden in downtown businesses. Other events included performances by local musicians and Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Conservatory students, an origami lesson for children, and a display of vintage Volkswagen vans.

This Week in Photos: Beautiful

It’s Saturday night in March and there’s a pulsating glow spilling from the windows of the Root Room in Carnegie Building. Inside, rows of spectators line the perimeter of a long narrow stage. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµâ€™s most anticipated fashion show begins as cheers swell when models, draped in creative attire, take their turn down the walk. This is a signature event during Black History Month. It also serves as inspiration for this week’s photo series.
