i  {heart} marrickville festival 23/10/11

...and so do about 29,000 other festy-goers (so says http://www.marrickville.nsw.gov.au/marrickvillefestival) who, along with yours truly, languished in the 'blink and you'll miss it' summer tease, lapped up the visual feasts and live music on marrickville rd. 100 stalls - 75% local (poor effort, should have been 100 - just sayin'!) of food, art, fashion + design were complemented with wham bam slam poetry, wicked live tunes + sexy dance routines.

put it in the diary for next year if you missed it - not only are the stalls + music entertaining, the festy goers themselves are always colourful - have a looksie!
