The Chain of Parks Art Festival happens this Saturday and Sunday (April 18 and 19) in downtown Tallahassee. Last-minute preparations were in high gear for an event that attracts tens-of-thousands of people.<\/p>\n

Volunteers from all over the area, like Julie McBride, have been working for months.<\/p>\n

“We have high school students volunteering, we have college students and then we have old people like me who love Tallahassee!”<\/p>\n

Another volunteer is Leon School Board Member Rosanne Wood. She’s excited about Saturday afternoon’s parade of puppets, courtesy of Linda Hall.<\/p>\n

“I think we have about 30 puppeteers coming, so that’s a parade through the festival.”<\/p>\n

Wood’s daughter – and Festival Manager Powell Kreis – says the main attraction is still the outstanding local, regional and national artist creations.<\/p>\n

“There’s 180 fine artists from all over the country, there’s over 15 food trucks, live entertainment, a bar.”<\/p>\n
