Some people were drawn to the festival this year because of the changes made since last year.
John Larkin and Maggy Kirby, both of Columbia, came back to the festival partially because the things they didn’t like about last year changed: Blues Bucks are gone, there are more vendors and the festival moved away from Broadway.
“It seems better for traffic for Columbia in general to have it further south of Broadway,” Kirby said.
She and Larkin enjoyed pulled pork sandwiches from Rooten Tooten Bar-B-Que before going to Eighth and Cherry streets to listen to the Record Collector, a local band. They also planned to watch The Bel Airs at Flat Branch Park at 9 p.m. And once he got a little more energy in him, Larkin said he would start dancing.
They’re enjoying the great weather and plan to come back to the festival Saturday night.
