The
"micro festivals" within the borders of the event make each
area of STREET SCENE unique and fun. The effect is a theme-park of
sights, aromas, tastes and sounds. It is this creativity and attention
to detail that has earned STREET SCENE its distinction as the premiere
urban music festival in the country. |
