This week’s Sounds & Sights served as a kickoff for the annual Sounds & Sights Festival, but the sounds and the sights were much like those we’ve gotten to enjoy on the other fun Thursdays we’ve had so far. Like what? Well, like this:

She was having fun dancing to the music of Sel de Terre.

She wasn’t the only one dancing!

This little one preferred to sit and enjoy the music with her balloon.

Elsewhere, there was an artist getting all artistic.

Cold Tone Harvest was by the clock tower.

One little fan was having fun with bubbles.

Tree of Life was at the clock tower gazebo. When Tree of Life brings out its drums, it’s always a party!

Jeff Wawrzaszek was back performing magic by the fountain.

From Grace was at the Sylvan.

As always, the chalk cube was in the middle of downtown.

Blues Dog Inquisition was on the library lawn.

They had some young fans, too.

The Sounds & Sights Festival runs through Saturday night. We’ll be back to regular Thursday night Sounds & Sights events after this weekend, and there are only a few left in 2014! Join us in downtown Chelsea next Thursday from 6:30-8:30pm to enjoy more of the fun.
