Sunday's damp and unseasonably cool weather sure put a damper on the 38th Annual Court Street Festival, which seemed to mostly be cancelled. I must admit that I never made it to the fair, but friend and photographer David Castillo of Blue Barn Pictures ventured out with his family yesterday and reported that it was "dead" on Court Street.
David's photo above was taken between 3rd Place and 4th Place at 2 pm on Sunday.
It looks as though many vendors did not even bother showing up.
Did you stop by the festival?

Why isn't there a rain date? Is it a scheduling issue for the vendors who may already be committed to upcoming street fairs?
I bought a great quart of pickles! But yes, totally dead for the most part. I wanted to buy sunglasses but couldn't find a single shop.
Anon 11:16, I imagine the logistics of shutting down a major street doesn't get a 2nd chance due to rain. I was bummed, I always enjoy the Court St Fair. I still strolled down and was surprised at the number of vendors that didn't even bother.
This venue needs to change its vibe. It's not the San Genero festival. Needs taco trucks and doughnuts and better stuff for kids.
I never go.
Who benefits from these things?
It is put on by the Gowanus Canal CDC for decades now, Buddy's group.
